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. This data set consists of depth to ground water contours for hydrographic-area (HA) 153, Diamond Valley, Nevada. These data represent static ground-water levels measured in the HA during March and April of 2001. These data were created as part of an effort to provide statewide information on water table and depth to ground water for Nevada. Digital water-table contours from 38 published reports representing data from 1947 to 2004 were combined to create [...]

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. 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.
