Diversion Points for the Rio Grande transboundary integrated hydrologic model and water-availability analysis, New Mexico and Texas, United States, and Northern Chihuahua, Mexico

This point vector dataset represents 61 surface-water points of diversion used as input into the Streamflow-Routing (SFR) Package for MODFLOW-One-Water Hydrologic Flow Model in the Rio Grande Transboundary Integrated Hydrologic Model (RGTIHM). Thirty-one of the 61 diversion points represent surface-water deliveries to combined groundwater and surface-water water balance subregions (WBS), and the remaining 30 diversion points represent diversions to canals and laterals along the surface-water conveyance network. Flow was specified monthly at each diversion point as either a rate (volume per time) or as a fractional split from the simulated flow in the upstream segment.
