Data Access Tools
Data Access Tools include APIs and search and query forms.
Carson River Basin Hydro Mapper
The Carson River Basin Hydro Mapper web application provides a modern and easy-to-use interface with the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS).
Health-Based Screening Levels for Evaluating Water-Quality Data
Search a table containing 835 contaminants and their associated water-quality benchmarks and standards.
Integrated Data and Tools Catalog
The Integrated Data and Tools Catalog is an online platform that allows modelers and researchers to explore and share datasets, tools and services, and use cases used by Water Resources Mission Area (WMA) projects to advance water science activities.
Surface water sites associated with the restoration effectiveness monitoring in the Vermilion River
Surface water sites associated with the restoration effectiveness monitoring in the Vermilion River.
Earth Observing Satellites Online Compendium
The Earth Observing Satellites Online Compendium contains details about past, present and future Earth observing satellites and the sensors they carry. This information compiled by staff at the USGS Earth Resources Observation and Science (EROS) Center in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.
USGS Trail Data Portal
Do we have your trails? The USGS Trail Data Portal allows land managers to submit their trail data for potential inclusion into the nationwide trails dataset. The dataset must have at least 50 miles of trails, be in the public domain, and pass a data review to be included. Email trails@usgs.gov for more information.
TRAILS – Trail Routing, Analysis, and Information Linkage System
TRAILS – Trail Routing, Analysis, and Information Linkage System is a trail planning and collaboration tool that utilizes geospatial analysis to determine potential routes for new trail connections or to reroute an existing trail.
USGS Trails Explorer
The USGS Trails Explorer visualizes the current distribution of aggerated trails.
Coastal Salinity Index
The location of the freshwater–saltwater interface along the coast is an important factor in the ecological and socioeconomic dynamics of coastal communities. Salinity is a critical response variable that integrates hydrologic and coastal dynamics including sea level, tides, winds, precipitation, streamflow, and tropical storms.
Sparrow Modeling North Carolina Watersheds Mapper
The USGS developed the SPARROW (SPAtially Referenced Regressions On Watershed attributes) modeling framework to relate water-quality monitoring data to upstream nutrient and sediment sources and watershed characteristics. The mapper can be used to evaluate alternative hypotheses about the relative importance of various pollutant sources.
North Carolina Rainfall Map
Map of North Carolina rain gages with National Weather Service precipitation overlays.
Georgia Water Use
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) South Atlantic Water Science Center and the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources have been collecting and compiling water-use information in Georgia since 1980 as part of an ongoing cooperative agreement.
