13. ABSTRACT (Maximum 200 words)

Water resources data published herein for the 1995 water year comprise the following records:

o Water discharge for 178 gaging stations on streams, canals and drains.o Discharge for 113 peak-flow stations and miscellaneous sites, and 46 springs.o Stage and contents for 22 lakes and reservoirs.o Water-quality data for 171 stream, lake, canal, spring, precipitation, and drain sites, and 111 wells.o Precipitation totals for 58 stations.o Water levels for 17 continuous record wells, and 1022 observation wells.

Additional water-data, collected at various sites that are not part of the systematic data-collection program, are pub-lished as miscellaneous measurements. These data represent that part of the National Water Data System operatedby the U.S. Geological Survey and cooperating State and Federal agencies in Nevada.

Attached are the regional pages printedfrom the web site. The four regions (4- Humboldt River Basin, 10- Central Region, 13-Colorado River Basin, and 14- Death Valley Basin) represent those that would be crossedby one or more of the rail or heavy-haul routes. Within each regional printout are thehydrographic areas found within the region and whether each area is designated or not.

Nevada Hydrologic Regions, Areas, and Sub-Areas Table Notes:A Ilydrographic Region or Basin is defined as a geographic area drained by a single major stream or an area consisting of a drainagesystem comprised of streams and often natural or man-made lakes. Also referred to as Drainage Basin, Watershed, or Waterbasin. TheU.S. Geological Survey and the Nevada Division of Water Resources, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, have dividedthe state into discrete hydrologic units for water planning and management purposes. These have been. identified as 232 Hydrographic

I.is (256 areas and sub-areas, combined) within 14 major I-lyc. jraphic Regions or Biasins. The hydrographic areas and sub-ai,..stypically consist of a valley drainage system.[11 Nevada Hydrographic Area/Sub-Area number (1-232; Hlydrographic Sub-Areas designated A, 13, C, etc.).[2] and [3] 1-lydrographic Area/Sub-Area surface areas in square miles and acres, respectively.[4] Nevada Area or Sub-Area (valley) name.[5] Nevada Counties wholly or partially included, listed by principal county first.[6] Nearest principal city or cities.[7] Des. = Designated Groundwater Basin (Area or Sub-Area). Designated Groundwater Basins are hydrographic areas or sub-areas wherepermitted ground water rights approach or exceed the estimated average annual recharge (i.e., the perennial yield of the basin) and thewater resources are lbeing depleted or require additional administration. Under such conditions, and, in the interest of public welfare, theNevada State Engineer, Division of Water Resources, lDepartment of Conservation and Natural Resources, is authorized by statute(Nevada Revised Statute 534.120) and directed to designate a groundwater basin and declare preferred uses (e.g., municipal and industrial,(lomestic supply, agriculture, etc.). T[he State Engineer has additional authority in the administration of the water resources within adesignated ground water basin. Designated groundwater basins are also referred to as Adininister-ed Groundwvater- Basins.
