Service Description: The U.S. Geological Survey and the Nevada Division of Water Resources, Department of Conservation and Natural Resources, have divided the state into discrete hydrologic units for Water Planning and management purposes. These have been identified as 232 Hydrographic Basins (1-232; hydrographic sub-basins designated A, B, C, etc.) within 14 major Hydrographic Regions. There are a total of 256 hydrographic basins and sub-basins.Designation indicates whether a groundwater basin has been designated. Designated groundwater basins are basins where permitted ground water rights approach or exceed the estimated average annual recharge and the water resources are being depleted or require additional administration. Under such conditions, the State Engineer may designate a groundwater basin and, in the interest of public welfare, declare preferred uses (e.g., municipal and industrial, domestic, agriculture, etc.) (Nevada Revised Statute 534.120) . The State Engineer has additional authority in the administration of the water resources within a designated groundwater basin.These regions have been aggregated from the SE_GroundwaterBasins feature class based on the HydroRegionID which roughly followed the HUC 6 boundary. This feature class is used in the Groundwater Basins of Nevada Wall Map.This dataset is also used for the purpose of assigning designated beneficial uses and water quality standards by NDEP's Division of Water Quality Planning.
