This data represent the finite element mesh of the Fine-Grid California Central Valley Groundwater - Surface Water Flow Model (C2VSimFG). The purpose of the dataset is to allow the Sustainable Groundwater Management Act (SGMA) interested parties and the public to use the C2VSimFG's output data to assist in the implementation of their groundwater sustainability plan.
The associated data are considered DWR enterprise GIS data, which meet all appropriate requirements of the DWR Spatial Data Standards, specifically the DWR Spatial Data Standard version 3.2, dated September 10, 2021. DWR makes no warranties or guarantees — either expressed or implied — as to the completeness, accuracy, or correctness of the data. DWR neither accepts nor assumes liability arising from or for any incorrect, incomplete, or misleading subject data.

<DIV STYLE="text-align:Left;"><DIV><DIV><P><SPAN>There is a total of 32, 537 elements within the C2VSimFG model, which make-up the finite grid mesh of the model. The elements are subdivided into 21 subregions. Each element is composed of corresponding groundwater nodes within the model domain. The model domain area is 20, 742 square miles, and each element is roughly 407 acres. The boundaries of the model grid were developed using a set of control points at important locations of the model area. The finite element mesh was created using GIS and several Excel and FORTRAN utilities. The grid size was refined in areas of higher groundwater gradient and/or areas that are more critical from hydrogeological viewpoints. The grid lines are designed parallel to the streamflow direction, when possible, as well as the groundwater streamlines, to capture the surface and subsurface drainage patterns. Nine major faults in the Central Valley are represented by thin strip of elements of around 500 feet. The dataset excludes three geologic outcrops: Sutter Buttes, Kettleman Hills and Capay Valley Hills, which are areas not included in the Bulletin 118. The dataset is maintained by the Sustainable Groundwater Management Office, Modeling and Tools Support Section. The areas calculated for this data using the WGS 1984 Web Mercator projection may not reflect the actual areas used in the C2VSimFG model.</SPAN></P></DIV></DIV></DIV> |
