2011–2016 Single Well Aquifer Tests: Pumping Schedules, Water-Level Data in Aquifer Test Wells, and Analysis Results from Tests Conducted near Long Canyon, Goshute Valley, Northeastern Nevada

This dataset presents tabular data and Excel workbooks used to analyze single-well aquifer tests in pumping wells and slug tests in monitoring wells near Long Canyon. The data also include pdf outputs from the analysis program, Aqtesolv (Duffield, 2007). The data are presented in two zipped files, (1) single-well aquifer tests in pumping wells and (2) slug tests in monitoring wells. The slug-test data were supplied by Newmont Mining Corporation and collected by Golder and Associates in 2011.

Evaluation of hydrologic impact of an irrigation curtailment program using Landsat satellite data

Upper Klamath Lake (UKL) is the source of the Klamath River that flows through southern Oregon and northern California. The UKL Basin provides water for 81,000+ ha (200,000+ acres) of irrigation on the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation Klamath Project located downstream of the UKL Basin. Irrigated agriculture also occurs along the tributaries to UKL. During 2013–2016, water rights calls resulted in various levels of curtailment of irrigation diversions from the tributaries to UKL. However, information on the extent of curtailment, how much irrigation water was saved, and its impact on the UKL is unknown. In this study, we combined Landsat-based actual evapotranspiration (ETa) data obtained from the Operational Simplified...

(3) Empirically Estimated Mean Annual (1987-2015) Net Evapotranspiration in the Harney Basin Lowlands, Southeastern Oregon

The supplemental data presented here contains raster data in .tif format of the empirically estimated mean annual (1987-2015) net evapotranspiration (ETnet) for the Harney Basin Groundwater Evapotranspiration Area. The final mean annual ETnet estimate for the Harney Basin was determined using both empirical and physics-based methods. The final ETnet estimate was combined with additional data to estimate groundwater discharge through evapotranspiration (ET) in the Harney Basin. See Garcia and others (2022) for a detailed description of how these data were estimated and evaluated.
