Hydrologic and geochemical characterization of the Petaluma River watershed, Sonoma County, California
January 31, 2022
Executive Summary
The objectives of the study are to (1) develop an updated assessment of the hydrogeology and geochemistry of the Petaluma valley watershed (PVW) and (2) develop an integrated hydrologic model for the PVW. The purpose of this report is to describe the conceptual model of the hydrologic, hydrogeologic, and water-quality characteristics of the PVW and a numerical groundwater-flow model of PVW.

MMODFLOW-OWHM used to characterize the flow system of the Petaluma River Watershed, Sonoma County, California
The Petaluma Valley integrated hydrologic model (PVIHM) was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Sonoma County Water Agency and the City of Petaluma. The PVIHM simulates the 99,000-acre Petaluma valley watershed and includes 54,000 acres where groundwater flow is active. The model simulates 56 years of historical hydrology (water years 1960–2015) that includes a r
