Geospatial data, flood-frequency analysis, and surface-water model archive for flood-inundation maps of the Muddy River, near Moapa, Nevada

This U.S. Geological Survey data release consists multiple datasets used to simulate the extents of flood inundation along the Muddy River, near Moapa, Nevada. Flood-inundation extents equal the maximum area of flood inundation and were estimated using a coupled one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) hydraulic model. The modeled extents represent six annual exceedance probabilities simulated for the current (2019) levee location adjacent to the Muddy River and a new levee location associated with a proposed restoration of a selected reach along the Muddy River. The data release includes: 1) a polygon dataset of the flood-inundation extents (MuddyRiver_Flood_Inundation_p.shp); 2) a zip file containing all relevant files to document and run the PeakFQ flood-frequency analysis used as input into the hydraulic model (0941600_Flood_Frequency_Archive.zip); 3) a zip file containing all relevant files to document and run the coupled 1D and 2D Hydrological Engineering Center-River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) hydraulic model used to generate a polygon dataset of flood-inundation extents (SWmodel_Archive.zip); 4) a polygon dataset of the current and proposed levee locations (MuddyRiver_Levee_p.shp); 5) a point dataset of survey points (RTK-TS_survey_x.shp) collected from April 1 to August 9, 2019, using real-time kinematic global navigation satellite system (GNSS) and total station (TS); and 6) a point dataset of seven static reference locations (Static_GNSS_x.shp) collected from March 29 to August 9, 2019, using a single-baseline online positioning user service – static (OPUS-S) GNSS survey.
