The climate is sub-desert type, with very low rainfall (from 80 to 300 mm per year): the territory is in fact almost entirely areic or endorheic, with the exception of the northern sector, crossed by some tributaries of the Snake river, and of the south-eastern sector, crossed by some tributaries of the Colorado River, which forms the southeastern border of the state. On the plateau rivers are few and poor in water: the most important is the Humboldt River, which flows into the lake of the same name. The other lake basins are the Pyramid, the Walker and the Mead. The main economic resources are tourism, the exploitation of the subsoil (gold, copper, iron, antimony, silver, mercury, manganese, tungsten) and industry (chemical, wood, metallurgical, food), while a secondary role has the agriculture (cereals, potatoes, sugar beets, vegetables, fruit) and breeding (cattle, sheep). Important cities, in addition to the capital, are Las Vegas, Reno, North Las Vegas and Sparks.
