Central Valley Hydrologic Model version 2 (CVHM2): Observation Data (Groundwater Level, Streamflow) (ver. 3.0, April 2026)

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.
