The Walker River is a river in west-central Nevada in the United States, approximately 62 miles (100 km) long. Fed principally by snowmelt from the Sierra Nevada of California, it drains an arid portion of the Great Basin southeast of Reno and flows into the endorheic basin of Walker Lake. The river is an important source of water for irrigation in its course through Nevada; water diversions have reduced its flow such that the level of Walker Lake has fallen 160 feet (49 m) between 1882 and 2010. The river was named for explorer Joseph Reddeford Walker, a mountain man and experienced scout who is known for establishing a segment of the California Trail.

  • La rivière Walker est une rivière dans le centre occidental du Nevada aux États-Unis, d'environ 80 km de long. Elle irrigue une partie aride du Grand Bassin au sud-est de Reno, avec un bassin hydrographique qui s'étend jusqu'aux montagnes de la Sierra Nevada. Elle s'écoule dans un bassin fermé, fournissant la source d'approvisionnement principale du lac Walker ainsi que du lac Topaz. (fr)

  • ウォーカー川(ウォーカーがわ、Walker River)は、アメリカ合衆国ネバダ州西部を流れる全長約80キロメートルの川である。主にカリフォルニア州のシエラネバダ山脈の雪解け水で形成され、一部はリノ南東のグレートベースンで乾燥し、最終的にウォーカー湖に流れ込む。この川はネバダ州では貴重な水源であり、流れる水の大半はウォーカー湖へ達する前に灌漑などに用いられるが、そのためウォーカー川の水量は、近年減少傾向にある。川の名前は、探検家のに由来する。 (ja)
  • Der Walker River ist ein Fluss im Westen des US-Bundesstaates Nevada. Die zwei Quellflüsse und des Walker River entspringen südöstlich des Lake Tahoe in der Sierra Nevada auf kalifornischem Gebiet und vereinigen sich in Nevada, bevor der Fluss Yerington erreicht. Der Walker River fließt von der Sierra Nevada ins Große Becken, wobei er zunächst nördlich ausgerichtet ist, dann in Richtung Südsüdost dreht, um schließlich in den Walker Lake zu münden. Der Flusslauf liegt in den Countys Mineral County und Lyon County. Zusammen mit dem Truckee River und dem Carson River (beide nördlich des Walker River) dient er der Wasserversorgung und Bewässerung der ariden Umgebung, wodurch zwischen 1882 und 2010 der Wasserstand des Walker Lake um 49 m sank. Der Fluss ist nach Joseph R. Walker benannt, der (de)
