The U.S. Geological Survey California Water Science Center is offering a three-day hands-on workshop on the recently updated Central Valley Hydrologic Model v2 (CVHM2). This workshop is hosted by the California Water & Environmental Model Forum (CWEMF) and sponsored by the California Department of Water Resources Sustainable Groundwater Management Office and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation, Mid Pacific Regional Office. The workshop will provide an overview of CVHM2’s features and review major findings. The workshop will cover the datasets and model files used in CVHM2 development and review the model calibration methodology and results. The rest of the workshop consists of hands-on exercises that will teach participants how to run CVHM2 and how to modify input files to develop water management or climate variation scenarios. For each scenario developed, participations will learn and practice how to post-process and visualize CVHM2 model results with a focus on results related to the SGMA sustainability indicators. The training focuses on CVHM2, but skills and tools learned in the training should benefit anyone using MODFLOW-OWHM in their work. Click here for details.
