Data

This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents monthly evaporation estimates from Lake Mead, Nevada and Arizona, for January 2021 through December 2023. The spreadsheet includes five worksheets: (1) Read_Me worksheet contains information relevant to understanding the data contained in the rest of the worksheets. (2) Monthly_EC_Met worksheet includes data measured at a land-based...

This data release from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) presents the results of radiometric analyses conducted on sediment samples collected in 2016 and 2019 from Pahranagat Wash, behind Arrow Canyon Dam in northern Clark County, Nevada. In 2016, core samples were collected from two well sites: USGS 364453114483401 (ACWEST) and USGS 364448114481001 (ACEAST). Additionally, a shallow...

The Great Basin of the Western United States hosts dozens of terminal lake systems that provide critical, abundant, and diverse ecosystems that support migratory bird species, local wildlife, and nearby communities. Water quality varies across terminal lakes in the region depending on basin geology, anthropogenic water use, climate, hydrology, and water quantity. Seasonal and long-term...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents watershed model input point data aggregated for the Great Basin Hydrologic Province and a portion of the Northern Mojave Desert. The original source data was aggregated onto a 200-meter grid, and then converted to a point dataset with each point representing the centroid of a grid cell. The dataset includes information on elevation...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists of two comma-separated values (CSV) tables containing the results of organic content and radiocarbon dating analyses performed on soil samples collected from a fen in Big Smoky Valley, Nye County, Nevada. Samples were collected from a single soil boring referred to as F1-D on September 11, 2019, using a hand auger. A shapefile of the site...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents the study area boundary and surficial hydrogeologic units for the Great Basin Hydrologic Province and a portion of the Northern Mojave Desert. The study area boundary delineates a spatial extent defined to include the Great Basin Hydrologic Province and a portion of the Northern Mojave Desert. Within this boundary, surficial hydrogeologic...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists of vector and raster geospatial datasets used to determine the volume of sediment in Pahranagat Wash, impounded above Arrow Canyon Dam, in northern Moapa Valley, Nevada. The data release includes: 1) a raster dataset of a 1-meter resolution digital elevation model (DEM) of the study area created using a lidar (light detection and ranging)...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists of multiple datasets used to simulate the streamflow extents and hydraulic characteristics of Meadow Valley Wash at Stuart Ranch near Rox, Nevada. Streamflow extents equal the maximum area of flow inundation and were estimated using a two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic model. The modeled extents represent baseflow and six annual exceedance

This data release contains two MODFLOW 6 simulations. Each simulation contains one groundwater flow (GWF) model and one groundwater energy (heat) (GWE) transport model. The GWF and GWE models are constructed to match the setup of the Barends analytical solution for two-dimensional heat transport. This allows the accuracy of the new GWE model to be verified so existing and prospective...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents raster geospatial data of modeled estimates of average total annual evapotranspiration by groundwater (ETg) and recharge (RCH), in millimeters, for Kenya for 2000 through 2022. Estimates were calculated by differencing Climate Hazards Group InfraRed Precipitation with Stations (CHIRPS) 2.0 precipitation data and Moderate Resolution...

This U.S. Geological Survey data release contains data from soil and storm water samples collected in and around areas in southern Nevada where a polymer-based dust palliative was applied. The applied palliatives were FSB-1000 (Soil Tech, 2012) or Soil-Sement (Midwest Industrial Supply, Inc., 2001) which contain water and the co-polymer butyl acrylate vinyl acetate (BAVA). Samples were...

This data release contains raster geospatial data for characterizing drainage basins in the Nevada StreamStats study area. Included are precipitation, temperature, elevation, slope, and land cover data. There are 70 full or partial 8-digit hydrologic units (HU8) represented in the Nevada StreamStats study area: 15010005 (partial), 15010006 (partial), 15010008, 15010009, 15010010...
