Geospatial data, flood-frequency analysis, and surface-water model archive for flood-inundation maps of the Muddy River, near Moapa, Nevada
May 23, 2023
This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists multiple datasets used to simulate the extents of flood inundation along the Muddy River, near Moapa, Nevada. Flood-inundation extents equal the maximum area of flood inundation and were estimated using a coupled one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic model. The modeled extents represent six annual exceedance probabilities simulated for the current (2019) levee location adjacent to the Muddy River and a new levee location associated with a proposed restoration of a selected reach along the Muddy River. The data release includes:
1) a polygon dataset of the flood-inundation extents (MuddyRiver_Flood_Inundation_p.shp);
2) a zip file containing all relevant files to document and run the PeakFQ flood-frequency analysis used as input into the hydraulic model (0941600_Flood_Frequency_Archive.zip);
3) a zip file containing all relevant files to document and run the coupled 1D and 2D Hydrological Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) hydraulic model used to generate a polygon dataset of flood-inundation extents (SWmodel_Archive.zip);
4) a polygon dataset of the current and proposed levee locations (MuddyRiver_Levee_p.shp);
5) a point dataset of survey points (RTK-TS_survey_x.shp) collected from April 1 to August 9, 2019, using real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and total station (TS); and
6) a point dataset of seven static reference locations (Static_GNSS_x.shp) collected from March 29 to August 9, 2019, using a single-baseline online positioning user service – static (OPUS-S) GNSS survey.

Flood-inundation maps for the Muddy River, near Moapa, Nevada
The Muddy River provides habitat for several wildlife and endemic aquatic species protected under the Endangered Species Act. Near Moapa, Nevada, in the Bureau of Land Management’s Muddy River Floodplain Restoration Project Area, a previously constructed levee on the east side of the river alters the natural hydrology and decreases connectivity between the river and its floodplain. The...
