The Carson Desert is a desert in the Lahontan Basin and the desert valley of Churchill County, Nevada (U.S.), which receives an average 5 inches (130 mm) annual precipitation.[2] The desert is the low valley area (including the Carson Sink in the north of the valley) between the adjacent mountain ranges,[3] while the larger watershed includes the interior slopes of the demarcating ranges.[4] The desert was inundated by Lake Lahontan during the Pleistocene, and the watershed became part of Nevada's Conservation Security Program in 2005.[5]
