Incorporating Nevada
Nevada Natural Resources Status Report
Selection of the more than 100 sampling sites in the monitoring network is based on land use intensity, water quality, hydro-modifications, and topography. Samples are analyzed for nutrients, sediment, metals, temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, and other chemical and physical parameters. In general, if twenty-five percent of the samples for a pollutant exceed the water quality standard, then the water body may be classified as impaired. Impaired water bodies placed on the Clean Water Act 303(d) List. The 303(d) List is intended to draw more attention to water bodies in need of water quality improvement. A new listing will be published by NDEP in 2002, incorporating new methods of determining impairment. ... [Read More]

Since children age 5-9 year olds were found to be at the greatest risk of having a negative experience with dogs, a school dog safety program was instituted in 1998 to help address this problem. This educational approach was developed incorporating the services of school nurses, animal control officers and first grade teachers with the goal of teaching appropriate dog bite prevention behaviors to first grade students. The presenters use a standardized lesson plan for teaching the prevention guidelines, The Fido! Friend or Foe? Activity Books, provided by the State Farm Insurance Companies are used to reinforce the teaching points. This program has been well received by the school elementary principals and the students. Approximately 26,000 first grade students receive this education every year. ... [Read More]

For the first installation, LVVWD selected The Las Vegas Springs Preserve , the 180-acre site of artesian springs that contributed to the city’s development. “We chose the preserve because its mission is to promote sustainable life in the Mojave Desert through demonstration, public outreach and research,” said Mack. “Incorporating photovoltaic technology fit perfectly with that vision.” ...

AB: The Basin and Range province of the western United States lies east of the Sierra Nevada mountains and accommodates roughly 25% of the motion between the North American and Pacific Plates in this region. It is experiencing both active extension and dextral shear, whose orientation is consistent with relative plate motion, suggesting that the province is an important part of the overall plate boundary system. We present results from recent measurement of Basin and Range crustal motion using the Global Positioning System (GPS). As of September 2002, ten years of deformation will have been observed with GPS measurements in 1992,1996, 1998 and 2002. The 800 km long east-to-west line of campaign-style geodetic benchmarks extends from east of the Wasatch fault zone in Utah to west of the Genoa fault zone and Lake Tahoe in California's Northern Sierra Nevada mountains, primarily along Interstate Highway 50. In all there are velocities at 91 GPS sites, nearly double the number previously ... [Read More]
