Description
These simulated potentiometric surface contours represent prepumping (or steady-state) conditions for model layer
1 of the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS), an approximately 45,000 square-kilometer region
of southern Nevada and California. The numerical ground-water flow model simulates prepumping conditions before
1913 and transient-flow conditions from 1913 to 1998 after pumping of ground water began. The DVRFS transient
ground-water flow model is the most recent in a number of regional-scale models developed by the U.S. Geological
Survey (USGS) for the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to support investigations at the Nevada Test Site (NTS)
and at Yucca Mountain, Nevada (see "Larger Work Citation", Chapter A, page 8).
