and
information
- Water-Year Summary reports summarize a year of hydrologic data in a printer-friendly format.
- For water years 2014 onward, choose a water year and parameter and an on-demand Water-Year Summary report will be generated.
- For water years 2006 through 2013, choose a water year and an Annual Water Data Report will be provided.
- For water years 2005 and earlier, Annual Water Data Reports may be available in digital format.
- Not all sites have reports available for every water year.

SURFACE-WATER RECORDS
PERIOD OF RECORD - Aug. 1969 to Sep. 1984, Jul. 2002 to current year.
GAGE - Datum of gage is 1249.45 ft above NAVD of 1988. The NAVD of 1988 datum was determined by a level 2 GNSS survey (Reference Frame NAD_83 (2011) (EPOCH:2010.0000), GEOID18) by USGS on February 10, 2020 and tied to TRM. Prior to February 10, 2020, the gage datum was 1280 ft above NGVD of 1929 as determined via topographic map by USGS on August 6, 1969. Prior to June 5, 1978, water-stage recorder at site 50 ft upstream at different datum.
REMARKS - High-water diversion upstream from station into Lake Las Vegas through at Las Vegas Wash overflow at Lake Las Vegas Inlet (station 09419756) beginning 1991. 10/01/2013-09/30/2014: Records good except for daily discharges greater than 600 ft³/s which are poor. 10/01/2014-09/30/2015: Records good except for daily discharges greater than 600 ft³/s which are poor. 10/01/2015-09/30/2016: Records good except for daily discharges greater than 600 ft³/s which are poor. 10/01/2016-09/30/2017: Records good except for discharges greater than 600 ft³/s which are poor. 10/01/2017-09/30/2018: Records good except for discharges greater than 600 ft³/s which are fair. 10/01/2018-09/30/2019: Records good except for discharges greater than 600 ft³/s which are fair. 10/01/2019-09/30/2020: Records good except for discharges greater than 600 ft³/s which are poor. 10/01/2020-09/30/2021: Records good except for discharges greater than 400 ft³/s which are poor. 10/01/2021-09/30/2022: Records good except for discharges greater than 400 ft³/s which are poor. 10/01/2022-09/30/2023: Records fair except for discharges greater than 400 ft³/s which are poor.
EXTREMES FOR PERIOD OF RECORD - Maximum discharge, 10,900 ft³/s, Mar. 12, 2020, gage height, 12.52 ft, from slope-area measurement of peak flow; minimum daily, 17 ft³/s, Jul. 8, 30, 1971.
