City of Reno, Nevada - watershed mapserver

lynellg — Mon, 10 Dec 2007 10:53:58 -0800

The City of Reno (and the Truckee Meadows Stormwater Committee) has provided watershed assessments as photo-documented field surveys, for the entire Truckee Meadows watershed. These are provided in an interactive mapserver, where you can click on either your region or creek of choice, in the Truckee Meadows. There are photos, descriptions of the creek reach conditions, and recommendations for restoration and watershed protection for each creek posted. Restoration will be an important component of integrated watershed management as our resources come under greater pressure through utilization, and tools are needed to evaluate priority sites to reduce loads of contaminants in the river.

Creeks and their information can be accessed by turning on navigation tools, once within the server. Watershed assessment information may be accessed two ways: through the name of the creek (top of site, choose "select creek") or by geographical area (top of site, choose "select region"). Within each creek page are photos, and by rolling over the blue buttons indicating sites of assessments, you'll uncover textual descriptions of the reaches, and tips for specific ways to restore that creek or protect waterways throughout our watershed.

Notes:

You will need to turn off your pop-up blocker.
Unfortunately, this currently only works with IE 6.0 and Microsoft Windows.

NDEP monitoring sites and special sites map images

tjdaum — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 09:25:56 -0800

These two maps represent Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) monitoring sites within the Truckee River watershed. The map "Regular Monitoring Stations" depicts those sites sampled on a regular basis as part of NDEP or Desert Research Institute (DRI) monitoring programs. These sites have been sampled between 36 and 566 times on a regular basis. Some have been sampled since 1966. The map "misc and special study sites" are those sites sampled as part of spatially and/or temporally limited studies, or on an irregular basis. Most of these sites have been sampled 3 or fewer times.

NDEP monitoring stations shapefile

tjdaum — Tue, 09 Jan 2007 09:31:23 -0800

This point shapefile shows all sample sites from the Nevada Division of Environmental Protection (NDEP) compilation of monitoring stations in the Truckee River Basin. This includes NDEP and Desert Research Institute (DRI) monitoring stations, as well as special study and miscellaneous sites. To view long term monitoring sites and special study sites separately, please refer to Maps and GIS section, titled "NDEP Monitoring Sites and Special Sites map images".

This shapefile is in GCS_North_American_1983 (latitude-longitude), North American Datum of 1983.

Pluvial Lake Lahontan

lynellg — Sun, 16 Dec 2007 14:40:17 -0800

During the Pleistocene era, a large lake persisted in what is now the Great Basin. During this epoch, climactic conditions existed such that, there were periods of higher precipitation and considerably less evaporation than modern day. This created a large inland body of water (Lake Lahontan) in the western portion of the Great Basin. Lake Lahontan connected many of the interior valleys within Nevada with water. This lake eventually dried up as the result of climate change, and now the remnants are today expressed as Pyramid and Walker Lakes.

Washoe County's Online Map Warehouse

dwaetjen — Thu, 31 Aug 2006 11:49:59 -0700

Online Maps of Washoe County...this is a very interactive site with tons of data! The nature of the huge volume of information here makes the navigation a bit of a process. Upon entering this site, every layer you want to view must be selected, and the direction keys or the hand pulling the map may need to be used to find the area you're looking for.
