The Great Basin is a series of contiguous

Klamath rivers, on the north by the watershed of the
Columbia-
Snake, and on the south and east by the watershed of the
Colorado-
Green rivers. The following are some of the most significant rivers in the Great Basin, most of which are in the states of Utah and Nevada. While the longest rivers in the Great Basin are the Bear River (350 miles), Sevier River (385 miles), and Humbolt Rivers (290 miles).
