Summary

This tabular dataset is compiled monthly surface-water discharge data from four USGS gages in the Walker River Basin, Nevada, in acre-feet (USGS, 2021), and calculated stream efficiency using monthly streamflow discharge data and monthly surface-water diversion data, unitless, for water years 1948-2020. USGS gages include: West Walker River at Hoye Bridge near Wellington (10297500), West Walker River near Hudson (10300000), East Walker River above Strosnider Ditch near Mason (10293500), and Walker River near Wabuska (10301500). USGS streamflow discharge data is provided in this data release in acre-feet for convenience to the reader.

Purpose

These datasets were created as part of a 2022 cooperative study by the U.S. Geological Survey with the Bureau of Reclamation and U.S. Bureau of Indian Affairs. The purpose of the study was to examine the effects of pumping on groundwater storage and stream efficiency of the Walker River in Smith Valley and Mason Valley, Nevada. The intended uses of this dataset include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications.
