Carson Sink is a playa in the northeastern portion of the Carson Desert in present-day Nevada, United States of America, that was formerly the terminus of the Carson River. Today the sink is fed by drainage canals of the Truckee-Carson Irrigation District. The southeastern fringe of the sink, where the canals enter, is a wetland of the Central Basin and Range ecoregion. This is mostly included within the Fallon National Wildlife Refuge and the Stillwater Wildlife Management Area. This area serves as an important stopover for migrating waterfowl. The Sehoo Formation is south of the Carson Sink.

  • Il Carson Sink è una depressione presente nel Gran Bacino, nel Nevada nord-occidentale, negli Stati Uniti. È parte del più esteso Carson Desert; il bacino è raggiunto dal e, in seguito all'istituzione del Truckee-Carson Irrigation District ed alla conseguente realizzazione di opere di canalizzazione per l'irrigazione dei terreni agricoli, da parte delle acque del fiume Truckee. Le zone umide presenti nella porzione sudorientale del bacino costituiscono un'importante area di sosta per gli uccelli acquatici e sono protette attraverso il Fallon National Wildlife Refuge e la Stillwater Wildlife Management Area. La porzione nordoccidentale del bacino è utilizzata come campo di addestramento per aerei da combattimento delle forze armate statunitensi. Un solitario pinnacolo di roccia che si eleva nel bacino - nel campo di addestramento - è considerato sacro dagli indiani Paiute. (it)
