This dataset consists of points representing selected well site locations and water-level measurements used by Lopes and Allander (2009) to develop autumn 2006 groundwater-level altitude contours for Smith and Mason Valleys, and the lower Walker River basin, Nevada. Since the publication of Lopes and Allander (2009), the positional coordinates and land-surface altitudes at selected well sites used to develop autumn 2006 groundwater-level contours in that report were updated as part of a 2022 U.S. Geological Survey study (Davies and Naranjo, 2022).

![]() This dataset represents "phreatophyte areas" mapped as part of a groundwater reconnaissance effort in four valleys in central Nevada and published in 1964. The data were digitized for comparison with mapping of groundwater discharge areas done in 2011 as part of a groundwater study in these valleys published in 2016.

This data set consists of areas permitted for irrigation, storage, evaporation, and disposal of treated sewage effluent in the Upper Carson River Basin, California and Nevada. It was compiled at 1:24,000-scale from maps, figures, and verbal and written communication provided by permitting agencies, Nevada Department of Environmental Protection (NDEP), public utility districts, and permitees. This data set contains the permitted area...

With increasing population growth and land-use change, urban communities in the desert southwest are progressively looking to remote basins to supplement existing water supplies. Recent applications for groundwater appropriations from Dixie Valley, Nevada, a primarily undeveloped basin neighboring the Carson Desert to the east, have prompted a reevaluation of the quantity of naturally discharging groundwater. The objective of this...

This data set represents the extent of the Southern Nevada volcanic-rock aquifers in Nevada.
![]() A three-dimensional, groundwater model (MODFLOW-2005) was developed to determine effects of future (2019–2100) groundwater development on water levels and natural discharges in the Alkali Flat–Furnace Creek Ranch (AFFCR), Ash Meadows, Pahute Mesa–Oasis Valley (PMOV), and Pahrump to Death Valley South (PDVS) groundwater basins, southern Nevada and California. Two pumping scenarios were developed. Scenario 1 assumed pumping continues at the current (2018) rate through 2100. Scenario 2 assumed all pumping stops in 2018 so that recovery can be observed from 2019–2100. Input and output files for the predictive simulations are in the model and output directories, respectively. The predictive model was calibrated with...

This data set consists of 1:1,000,000-scale large springs defined as where discharge is generally greater than 1,000 gallons per minute in Utah and most of Nevada; and greater than 200 gallons per minute in more arid parts of Nevada and in California.

![]() A three-dimensional, groundwater-flow model (MODFLOW-2005) was developed to estimate the hydraulic properties (e.g., transmissivity, hydraulic conductivity, specific yield, and specific storage) of volcanic rocks in Pahute Mesa, Nye County, Nevada. The model was calibrated using parameter estimation (PEST) by fitting estimated drawdowns to simulated drawdowns from 16 multiple-well aquifer tests. Water-level models were used to estimate drawdowns from continuous water-level data collected during multiple-well aquifer testing. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations described in the associated model documentation report (http://doi.org/10.3133/sir20165151). This data release...

Accurate delineations of irrigated acreage are critical in the development of water-use estimates and in determining an accurate water budget for the hydrographic basins of the BARCAS study area. Currently, irrigated acreage is estimated routinely for only a few basins in the study area and these acreages are calculated and reported by township range section, quarter, and quarter-quarter. Satellite imagery from the Landsat Thematic...
This vector dataset consists of 2 polygon shapefiles representing the groundwater discharge areas (GDA) and evapotranspiration (ET) units for the Amargosa Wild and Scenic River and contributing areas. GDAs were delineated by visual interpretation and subdivided into ET units of moist soil, open water, and vegetated areas.
