- Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems in Nevada iGDE database and report (TNC)
- The Nevada Indicators of Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems (iGDEs) Database was developed in 2019 by The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in collaboration with the Nevada Department of Wildlife, Nevada Division of Natural Heritage (NDNH), and Desert Research Institute with partial funding from the Bureau of Land Management, U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, California-Nevada Climate Applications Program, and NV Energy. It is a compilation of existing data on the indicators of groundwater dependent ecosystems including phreatophyte communities, wetlands, springs, lakes and playas, rivers and streams, and species in Nevada. The database also includes attributes for the Nevada GDE stressor and threat assessment that was completed in 2022. This dataset does not prove or make any claim about the nature and/or extent of ecosystem groundwater dependence for any mapped location. Positive identification of a groundwater dependent ecosystem requires detailed understanding of groundwater levels, hydrology, and geology of an area which is not within the scope or purpose of this dataset. The Nevada iGDE database is strictly limited to presenting indicators of groundwater dependent ecosystems in Nevada and does so at various scales depending on the best available data source. The raw data about locations of iGDEs on these data layers are summarized in the Groundwater Dependent Ecosystems in Nevada Story Map. Sources for data in the database are included in the database metadata and reports on TNC's Conservation Gateway page.
