Summary

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release consists of data from two tracer investigations in the Snake Creek drainage of Great Basin National Park, White Pine County, Nevada. The first investigation, occurring from April to September 2019, involved injecting a fluorescein dye tracer below a diversion point in Snake Creek and monitoring 13 sites in the Snake Creek and neighboring Big Wash drainages for presence of the dye. The results of the first investigation were used to select a targeted monitoring location for a second, quantitative investigation. The second investigation, occurring from September 2020 to March 2021, involved injecting two tracers, sodium bromide and fluorescein dye, below the same diversion point and monitoring [...]

Purpose

This dataset was created as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study, done in cooperation with the National Park Service, to evaluate the fate of stream loss and quantify the fraction of that loss that re-emerges or passes various locations in and around Great Basin National Park, Nevada. The intended uses of this dataset include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications.
