Two-dimensional variably saturated heat and flow models (VS2DH) were used to examine seepage rates at 19 transects in the Truckee Canal system during the 2018 and 2019 irrigation seasons. The models were calibrated to unsteady stage conditions over a 2,500 hour period, then parameter values were validated for the remaining irrigation period of each year. Regression equations were developed for each transect based on the model output, measured sediment temperature at 0.0 meters depth, stage, and hydraulic the gradient between surface and groundwater (where data were available). This USGS data release contains the model input and output files for simulating seepage rates along the Truckee Canal. Details and results...

Two-dimensional variably saturated heat and flow models (VS2DH) were used to examine seepage rates along the Birdspring drainage for the purpose of exploring the drainage channel for use in an managed aquifer recharge project. Six transect models were separately calibrated to sediment temperatures observed during episodic runoff events during water year 2017 and 2018. The models were calibrated to unsteady flow conditions, then estimates of seepage losses were made for steady state conditions assuming stage conditions associated with 4 cubic feet per second of imported water. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report...
