Hydrogeologic Conceptual Model for the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin (6-12), Inyo and Mono Counties

Robert Harrington | January 27th, 2016


This report provides a hydrogeologic conceptual model of the Owens Valley Groundwater Basin (OVGB) compiled from numerous sources including the US Geological Survey, Los Angeles Department of Water and Power, Inyo and Mono Counties, the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, and the California Department of Water Resources. Because groundwater and surface water systems are linked, both systems are described here, prefaced by a summary of the physical setting of the OVGB.
