The Rainwater Basin (RWB) wetland complex in south-central Nebraska provides crucial stopover habitat for over 7 million waterfowl and 500,000 shorebirds every spring. However, only 10% of the original RWB wetlands remain, resulting in less available habitat for wetland-dependent birds. Conservation efforts are being employed to alleviate the loss of RWB wetlands. To aid conservation efforts, we created a vegetation map of all historical RWB wetlands based on 2004 imagery. The shapefile maps the 2004 vegetation communities for all historic wetlands in the Rainwater Basin region of Nebraska, USA. Vegetation communities include cropped areas that rarely pond water, cropped areas that often pond water, bare soil...

The Rainwater Basin Joint Venture (RWBJV) used wetland complex models for analysis in their conservation actions. A Historic Wetland Mask (HWM) was used as analysis features for the playa wetlands. The HWM is a GIS layer created by merging all of the playa wetland features identified from four sources: historic soil surveys , National Wetland Inventory, Soil Survey Geographic Database and a 2005 Ducks Unlimited satellite inventory. Using the HWM allows the model to analyze all potential historic wetlands and evaluate their restoration potential as waterfowl habitat. A combination of raster and vector-based spatial analysis was performed on the historic wetland footprints. Factors included in the mask were size,...

This shapefile maps the 2012 vegetation communities for all historic wetlands in the Rainwater Basin region of Nebraska, USA. Vegetation communities include cropped areas that rarely pond water, cropped areas that often pond water, bare soil or mudflat, standing water, moist soil species, wetmeadow species, grasses, reed canarygrass, river bulrush, cattail, and woody species. Communities are based on training data from 2012 field vegetation surveys of over 12,000 points. This map is an update of a RWB vegetation map created in 2004. These data were processed by Ele Nugent, Roger Grosse, and Andy Bishop with the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture (RWBJV), with help from RWBJV Geographic Information Systems Laboratory...

This is a land cover dataset for Nebraska that was most recently updated in 2020 by the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture. This metadata record supplements the complete description of the data in Bishop, A., Grosse,R., Barenberg, A., Volpe, N., and Riens, J. January, Nebraska Land Cover Development Version 2016. Rainwater Basin Joint Venture, U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service, Grand Island, Nebraska.

This ranking criterion was developed to identify those pits that most negatively impact watershed integrity of publically owned and Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) playa wetlands. Currently, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) manages 59 Waterfowl Production Areas (WPAs) while the Nebraska Game and Parks Commission oversees 35 Wildlife Management Areas (WMAs). These wetlands flood as a result of precipitation or snow melt. With the transition to pivot irrigation, a large number of irrigation reuse pits have been abandoned over recent years. Although not being used for irrigation, these pits continue to fill with water from precipitation events shortstopping water that could have reached the neighboring...

The 2011 Prairie Dog Habitat Suitablity Model was developed by the Rainwater Basin Joint Venture using an additive ranking method of six variables based on expert opinion: soil range site, soil psammency, depth to water table, slope, land cover, and wetlands/hydrology. Many variables in the 2011 model are based on a previous 2004 Nebraska Game and Parks Commission (NGPC) Model developed by GIS Workshop in 2003.
These raster files showing wetland areas that were functional during Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex Annual Habitat Survey. Annual Habitat Surveys (AHS) identify areas of wetland ponding and function (ponding and potential hydrophyte vegetation) during spring migration. The information is developed by Rainwater Basin Joint Venture to identifying how much habitat the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex provides to migratory waterfowl on an annual basis. AHS have been completed for 2004 and 2006-2020 where high-resolution aerial photos of the Rainwater Basin Wetland Complex are classified using an image object classification software to determine land cover (hydrophyte water, agriculture water, hydrophytes, agriculture,...

Geographic Focus Areas (GFAs) used for Rainwater Basin Joint Venture (RWBJV) species and habitat planning and reporting. These boundaries are based entirely or in part on the U.S. Environmental Protect Agency’s Level 4 Ecoregions, U.S. Department of Agriculture - Natural Resource Conservation Service’s Major Land Resource Areas, or Nebraska Game and Parks Commision’s Biologically Unique Landscapes. This revision of RWBJV GFAs replaces a previous version used in the RWBJV’s Impementation Plan (2013).
