In 1889, the U.S. Geological Survey established its first gaging
station in Nevada and providing to the public data about Nevada's
water resources. Today, this systematic collection and dissemination of
hydrologic data is made possible with the cooperation from Federal,
Tribal, State, and local agencies. A list of our current cooperators is
available online.
These pages provide access to water-resources data collected at
approximately 20,000 sites in Nevada. Online access to this data is
organized around the categories listed to the left.
The USGS investigates the occurrence, quantity, quality,
distribution, and movement of surface and underground waters and
disseminates the data to the public; Tribal, State and local
governments; public and private utilities; and other Federal agencies
involved with managing Nevada's water resources. For more
