Central Valley Hydrologic Model version 2 (CVHM2): Observation Data (Groundwater Level, Streamflow) (ver. 3.0, April 2026)
October 6, 2022
This digital dataset includes two sets of observational data (groundwater level and streamflow) used to calibrate the updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model (CVHM2). Subsidence and Aquifer-System Compaction Data Used as Observations are available in the companion data release (Brandt and others, 2026; https://doi.org/10.5066/P144BREY). CVHM2 is a tool that can be used to quantify the sustainability of groundwater resources in the Central Valley.

The Central Valley of California is one of the most prolific agricultural regions in the world. Agriculture is reliant on the conjunctive use of surface-water and groundwater. The lack of available surface-water and land-use changes have led to pumping-induced groundwater-level and storage declines, land subsidence, changes to streamflow and the environment, and the degradation of water...
