Data on Streamflow and Quality of Water and Bottom Sediment in and Near Humboldt Wildlife Management Area, Churchill and Pershing Counties, Nevada, 1998-2000

摘要

This study was initiated to expand upon previous findings that indicated concentrations of dissolved solids, arsenic, boron, mercury, molybdenum,selenium, and uranium were either above geochemical background concentrations or were approaching or exceeding ecological criteria in the lower Humboldt River system. Data were collected from May 1998 to September 2000 to further characterize streamflow and surface-water and bottom-sediment quality in the lower Humboldt River, selected agricultural drains, Upper Humboldt Lake, and lower Humboldt Drain (ephemeral outflow from Humboldt Sink).
