Description

The contours in this digital data set represent the regional potentiometric surface developed by Bedinger and Harrill (2004) to assess potential interbasin flow in the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS). To obtain an adequate network of control points for that 100,000 square-kilometer region of southern Nevada and California, Bedinger and Harrill (2004) used regional potential altitudes derived from surface-water features, ground-water levels, topographic settings, deep wells, and 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). Bedinger and Harrill (2004) hand-contoured the regional potential data to produce the DVRFS potentiometric-surface map.
