Data for Investigating the Joint Effect of Changes in Impervious Cover and Climate on Trends in Floods

This data release contains data in support of "The Joint Effect of Changes in Impervious Cover and Climate on Trends in Floods: A Comparison of Panel and Single-Station Quantile Regression Approaches" (Over and others, 2025). It contains input and output data used to analyze the effect of impervious cover and climate changes on trends in floods using three regression approaches. The input consists

Archive of hydraulic and hydrologic models used in the Stoney Brook watershed in Carlton and St. Louis Counties, Minnesota, 2008–2024

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Fond du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa (FDLB), Minnesota, analyzed the hydrologic and hydraulic conditions within the Stoney Brook watershed. The Stoney Brook watershed covers an area of 100.8 square miles in Carlton and St. Louis counties with most of the watershed within the Fond du Lac Reservation. Wild rice, which is harvested by t

Digital Representation of Isopach Maps for Selected Geologic Periods from an Atlas Published by Sloss and others (1960)

Information of hydrogeologic and geologic importance from the book, "Lithofacies Maps: An Atlas of the United States and Southern Canada" (Sloss and others, 1960) detailing geologic periods, including the Cambrian, Ordovician, Silurian, and Devonian were digitized from scanned maps. Isopach contours were captured and, along with Geologic Map of North America (GMNA) information (Garrity and Soller,

Archive of the Hydrologic and Hydraulic Models used in the Analyses of the Silver Creek Basin and Selected Tributaries Associated with Scott Air Force Base, Illinois, 1992–2050

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with Scott Air Force Base (SAFB), Illinois, assessed the effects of temporal land-use development in the Silver Creek Basin, the potential effects of projected changes in future precipitation, and the effects of added detention storage in selected tributaries near SAFB. A hydrologic model was used to simulate precipitation runoff and streamflows fo

U.S. Geological Survey Wastewater Diffuser Survey in Cedar Falls

These data represent a Global Positioning System (GPS) survey generated using a Trimble R10 Real-Time Kinematic (RTK) and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS). The survey extends along the Cedar River streambed in Cedar Falls, Iowa, where a wastewater treatment diffuser pipe is installed. Cross-sectional representations were produced to depict stream depth and streambed elevation. Cross-sect

MODFLOW 6 Groundwater Flow Model for the Des Moines River Alluvial Aquifer near Des Moines, Iowa

Des Moines Water Works (DMWW) is a regional municipal water utility that supplies residential and commercial water resources to about 600,000 customers in Des Moines, Iowa, and surrounding municipalities in central Iowa. DMWW has identified a need for increased water supply and is exploring the potential for expanding groundwater production capabilities in the Des Moines River alluvial aquifer, wh

Archive of Bank Stability and Toe Erosion Model (BSTEM) Simulations of Caulks Creek, Wildwood, Missour

The Bank Stability and Toe Erosion Model (BSTEM) version 3.3.1 (Ursic and Langendoen, 2021) was used to predict bank retreat at five locations along Caulks Creek, Wildwood, Missouri, for a selection of design storm scenarios. BSTEM is a macro-enabled Excel spreadsheet (.xlsm file) that simulates the retreat of a bank profile due to a combination of fluvial and geotechnical processes. These BSTEM s

Archive of hydrologic and hydraulic models used in the simulation of hydraulic characteristics of Caulks Creek, Wildwood, Missouri

Substantial incision and widening of Caulks Creek within the City of Wildwood, Missouri, in western St. Louis County, poses a threat to stormwater and transportation infrastructure along with effects to residential and recreational property.  Hydrologic and hydraulic models were used to estimate probabilistic streamflows and characterize and assess spatial and temporal changes in erosion factors

Data and Model Archive Summaries to Support Use of Continuous Water-quality Time-series Data to Compute Total Phosphorus Concentrations and Loads for the Missouri River at St. Joseph and Hermann, Missouri, 2007–22

This data release contains the R source code, inputs, and selected outputs associated with the turbidity-based regression models used to estimate total phosphorus concentrations and loads for the Missouri River at St. Joseph and Hermann, Missouri, for water years 2008–22. Additionally, the R source code, inputs, and selected outputs for LOADEST models used to estimate daily total phosphorus loads

Monitoring Data to Support the Operation of the Electric Dispersal Barrier System on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal at Romeoville, Illinois, October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019 (ver 2.0, Level 5 rev)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) monitors water surface flow reversals, commercial vessel traffic, and temperature and specific conductance in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers Electric Dispersal Barrier System (EDBS) on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal, Chicago, Illinois. These data are planned to be released on USGS ScienceBase annually. This data release is the summary of all the data collec

Bathymetry and Water-Quality Data of Surface Water Bodies in Cook County, Illinois, 2024

In 2024, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in collaboration with the Cook County Bureau of Technology (BOT), carried out comprehensive hydrographic and water-quality surveys, and activity and disturbance assessments of 44 total water bodies encompassing lakes and rivers within Cook County, Illinois. These surveys and assessments describe the bathymetry, water-quality conditions, and on-site field

Watershed Data Management (WDM) Database (WBDR22.WDM) for West Branch DuPage River Streamflow Simulation, DuPage County, Illinois, January 1, 2007, through September 30, 2022

This data release is the update of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) - ScienceBase data release Bera (2023), with the processed data for the period October 1, 2021, through September 30, 2022. This data release (DR) describes the watershed data management (WDM) database WBDR22.WDM. The precipitation data are collected from a tipping-bucket rain-gage network and the hydrologic data (stage and disc
