Geospatial data, precipitation-runoff model archive, and surface-water model archive for streamflow extents of Carson Slough, Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada Geospatial data, precipitation-runoff model archive, and surface-water model archive for streamflow extents of Carson Slough, Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada

This U.S. Geological Survey data release presents flood-inundation extents and hydraulic characteristics of the Carson Slough, Ash Meadows National Wildlife Refuge, Nevada. These datasets were created by simulating streamflow conditions for eight rainfall scenarios (100-, 50-, 25-, 10-year floods under 6- and 24-hour rainfall durations), under three terrain conditions (2023, peak-flow...

Mud Lake Dam, a rock and earth embankment structure, crosses an ephemeral stream that once flowed naturally into Carson Slough, the largest wetland complex in southern Nevada and a critical habitat for several threatened and endangered species. The dam was breached in the 1990s, rerouting stormwater into a new channel. The Bureau of Land Management and U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service are
