Nevada StreamStats

StreamStats for Nevada was developed in cooperation with the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) and the Nevada Division of Water Resources (NDWR). 

Currently, StreamStats is available for Nevada on a limited basis. It allows users to select a stream location, delineate the drainage basin for that location, and compute basin characteristics. There is an ongoing study to develop streamflow statistics that is expected to be completed in 2028, and the results will be published in the Nevada StreamStats application and in a U.S. Geological Scientific Investigations Report. 

In 2024, geospatial datasets were developed to be implemented into the StreamStats, enabling accurate watershed delineations. These datasets were compiled from updated National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) flowlines and Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) boundaries, and 3D Elevation Program (3DEP).  These datasets are available in the Data Release below:

These basin characteristics will be tested for potential use as explanatory variables in an ongoing study to develop streamflow statistics. These datasets are available in the Data Release below:
