Quantitative analysis of regional and interbasin flows in the Death Valley regional ground-water flow system (DVRFS) region could be improved if hydraulic head values were available to develop a spatially interpolated contour map of the regional ground-water potential. Because of the regional hydraulic continuity between deep and shallow flow in the DVRFS, additional data points for the regional ground-water potential can be inferred from flow-net relations with the shallow ground-water potential.
