Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. Hydrologic landscape regions group areas according to their similarity in landscape and climate characteristics. These characteristics represent variables assumed to affect hydrologic processes in the environment. Hydrologic landscape regions in Nevada were delineated using geographic information system tools and statistical methods including cluster analysis. The data layers of hydrogeology, precipitation, soil permeability, land surface slope and [...]

Purpose

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. Hydrologic landscape regions group areas in Nevada according to their similarity in landscape and climate characteristics. The landscape and climate characteristics represent factors assumed to affect hydrologic processes in the environment. The intended uses of this data set include, but are not limited to, natural resource modeling, mapping, and visualization applications.
