This data set was created as part of a U.S. Geological Survey study, done in cooperation with the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection, to evaluate the susceptibility and vulnerability of ground water to anthropogenic contamination. The data set was created as part of an effort to provide statewide information on depth to ground water and water-table levels in Nevada. One variable that may control the susceptibility of ground water to contamination and determines contamination transport is depth to water (Lopes and others, 2006). This data set was used to develop raster surfaces of water-table altitude and depth to ground water for Nevada. The intended uses of this data set include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications.
