Water Depth in Tinajas, Clark County, Nevada, 2021 - 2023
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release presents 15-minute continuous water-depth measured at four USGS monitoring locations at four tinajas (ephemeral rock pools) in Clark County, Nevada from December 2021 through October 2023. Each site was equipped with two pressure transducers: one submerged at the deepest point of the floor of the tinaja, measuring total pressure; and one at land surface, measuring atmospheric pressure. Water depth, in feet, was calculated from the paired measurements and is presented in four comma separated values (CSV) files.
More data from the USGS monitoring locations can be found in the USGS National Water Information System (U.S. Geological Survey, 2025):
