The Nevada Water Science Center is planning for the future by developing new approaches and innovative ways to meet the critical need for sound, objective scientific information. The questions asked by policy makers are more complex than in the past and typically involve more than one area of scientific expertise. Our scientific expertise is grouped into the science themes below.
Aquifer Data, Analyses, and Aquifer-Test Reports
Search aquifer tests from Nevada, California, and Idaho through the Aquifer Test map interface and download aquifer test files.
Evapotranspiration Studies in Nevada
View and download data from completed and ongoing evapotranspiration (ET) studies in Nevada.
USGS-USDOE Cooperative Studies
We provide hydrologic, geologic, and other scientific and technical expertise to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) to address environmental and scientific issues at the Nevada National Security Site and vicinity.
