Reference springs in California for the regional ground-water potential map by Bedinger and Harrill (2004), Death Valley regional ground-water flow system, Nevada and California

Description

This digital geospatial data set is a compilation of reference points representing springs in California
that were used for the regional ground-water potential map by Bedinger and Harrill (2004). The
regional ground-water potential map was developed to assess potential interbasin flow in the
Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), a 100,000-square-kilometer region
of southern Nevada and California. To obtain an adequate network of control points, Bedinger
and Harrill (2004) used regional potential altitudes derived from surface-water features, ground-
water levels, topographic settings and deep wells in addition to the spring data. A set of general
guidelines was developed to relate regional ground-water potential to these more readily observed
surface and near-surface ground-water levels and to hydrologic characteristics of ground-water
basins in the DVRFS (see "Larger Work Citation", Appendix 1).
