Columbia River Basin Evapotranspiration Project

Columbia River Basin Evapotranspiration Project

Jan 5, 2023 | Division of Hydrologic Sciences, Hydrologic

The Columbia River Basin Evapotranspiration Project is a multi-state collaboration to improve water management with easy access to satellite-based ET data and mapping tools.

Groundwater Discharge from Phreatophyte Vegetation, Humboldt River Basin, Nevada

Groundwater Discharge from Phreatophyte Vegetation, Humboldt River Basin, Nevada

Feb 2, 2022 | Division of Hydrologic Sciences, Hydrologic

Groundwater evapotranspiration (ETg) from phreatophyte vegetation is the primary component of natural groundwater discharge within the Humboldt River Basin. This report summarizes previous study estimates of ETg, and details methods and results of updated groundwater discharge areas, ETg rates, and ETg volume estimates developed in this study.

Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem Assessments

Groundwater Dependent Ecosystem Assessments

Mar 17, 2021 | Division of Hydrologic Sciences, Hydrologic

Project Description Groundwater supports a variety of ecosystems in Nevada and the Great Basin, including springs, rivers, lakes, meadows, and wetlands, as well as trees and shrubs that tap into groundwater through deep roots (called phreatophytes). Many of these...

Remote Sensing Estimates of Evapotranspiration from Irrigated Agriculture, Northwestern Nevada and Northeastern California

Remote Sensing Estimates of Evapotranspiration from Irrigated Agriculture, Northwestern Nevada and Northeastern California

May 19, 2020 | Division of Hydrologic Sciences, Hydrologic

The study summarizes ET from agricultural areas in northwest Nevada and northeast California from 2001-2011 from remote sensing.

Drought Sensitivity and Trends of Riparian Vegetation in Nevada

Drought Sensitivity and Trends of Riparian Vegetation in Nevada

Apr 21, 2020 | Division of Hydrologic Sciences, Hydrologic

Project Description Maintaining the ecological integrity of riparian areas and other groundwater-dependent ecosystems (GDEs) is an important objective for natural resource and water managers, given the role of these systems in sustaining biodiversity and the other...

Working to solve our most challenging environmental problems. 

More than 400 highly-skilled scientists, engineers, technicians, students, and staff work collaboratively within and across three research divisions, focused on understanding and answering critical science questions about global climate change, water quality and availability, air quality, the sustainability of desert lands, life in extreme environments, education, and more.
