Data

The USGS Washington Water Science Center currently operates over 380 data-collection sites in Washington.  The sites collect surface water, groundwater, water quality and meteorological data that are available in real time.  Current and historic data can be retrieved from the National Water Information System (NWIS) database and the National Water Dashboard.

Bathymetric Map of the Lummi Sea Pond, October 2022

On October 5-6, 2022, a combination of Acoustic Doppler Current Profiler (ADCP) and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveying were used to collect bathymetric data of the Lummi Sea Pond near Bellingham, WA. Distributed XYZ points were interpolated to create a continuous bathymetric map of the sea pond. The final product is two-meter raster in NAD88 (2011) UTM 10N coordinates, with elevat

Supporting data for and predictions from streamflow permanence modeling in Mount Rainier National Park and surrounding area, Washington, 2018-2020

This data release contains spatially gridded geospatial data (rasters), R scripts, and supporting files to run Random Forest models to predict the probability of late summer surface flow in Mount Rainier and surrounding area in Washington State for 2018–20. Gridded geospatial data that describes the physical conditions of Mount Rainier National Park and surrounding area are used to refine the exis

Particulate mercury isotope results, fiber optic thermal survey data, and nearshore surface sediment results at the Bremerton Naval Complex, Washington, USA, 2020-21

This data release contains four data sets that support ongoing U.S. Geological Survey investigations, in cooperation with the U.S. Navy, at the Bremerton Naval Complex (BNC), Sinclair Inlet, Washington. Child item #1 includes reported concentrations of mercury isotopes in 28 samples of new (2018-19) or archived (2008-09) particulate samples from the BNC, surface sediment from Sinclair Inlet, or su

Field data for evaluation of the LISST-SL2, an in-stream particle-size analyzer, at selected rivers in Washington and Virginia, 2018-20

Measurements of suspended-sediment concentration and particle-size distribution were made in selected rivers located in Washington and Virginia with an in-stream, particle-size analyzer that uses laser-diffraction methods to measure the concentration and size of suspended particles. Measurements were made in 11 rivers from 2018 to 2019 using the LIST-SL2, a second-generation streamlined sensor tha

Daily Nooksack River Basin Nutrient Loading Estimates from 2018 to 2021

The Nooksack River watershed comprises the majority of the Water Resources Inventory Area 1 (WRIA 1) located in Whatcom County in Washington State. From its headwaters in the northwestern Cascade Mountains, the Nooksack River drains approximately 809 square miles, comprising most of western Whatcom County, including agricultural areas and the developed lowlands surrounding the towns of Deming, Eve

Suspended-Sediment Data for the Bogachiel and Calawah Rivers, WA for Water Years 2019-2021

This data release summarizes suspended sediment monitoring results on the Bogachiel (USGS 12042800) and Calawah (USGS 12043000) Rivers between water years 2019 and 2021, based on a combination of continuous turbidity monitoring and discrete suspended-sediment concentration (SSC) measurements. Data and results for each monitoring station were combined into zip files. Each zip file contains:   Summ

Supporting Spatial Data for Sediment Studies in the Bogachiel and Calawah River Watersheds, Washington

This Data Release provides spatial data to support analysis of land cover change and channel width change in the Bogachiel and Calawah River basins, Washington. This supports a larger analysis that quantifies suspended-sediment yields for the two basins for water years 1977-1978 and more recently, for water years 2019-2021. Collectively the study evaluates influences of hydrology, geology, fire, a

Supporting data for streamflow permanence studies in the Huachuca Mountains, Arizona, 2010-2014.

This Data Release provides supporting data to characterize and identify influences of streamflow permanence in headwater streams in the Huachuca Mountains, Arizona, U.S.A. Relative conductivity as a proxy for surface water presence was measured in headwater streams in the Huachuca Mountains from 2010-2014. These data are summarized as mean daily values. Geologic influences on the timing of surface

Soil Water Balance Model of the White River Basin, Mount Rainier National Park, Washington, USA, 1999-2020

This archive documents a Soil Water Balance (SWB) model of the The White River Basin, Washington and immediate surrounding environs. The SWB model is used to estimate surface processes of a water budget including precipitation, interception, evapotranspiration, surface runoff, etc. for the upper White River area from January 1999 - December 2020.

Network Analysis of USGS Streamflow Gages (ver. 2.0, May 2023)

This data release has a workflow, data, and results of an analysis of the coverage, resolution, and representation of variables related to public interests in streamflow information by the USGS streamflow gaging network that was active in water year 2020. The workflow for the analysis is implemented as scripts and functions in the statistical programming language R. The spatial framework for the a

Water Temperature Mapping of the Skykomish, Snoqualmie, and Middle Fork Snoqualmie Rivers—Longitudinal Stream Temperature Profiles and Airborne Thermal Infrared and RGB Imagery Mosaics

The Skykomish and Snoqualmie River basins in western Washington provide spawning, rearing, and migration habitat for several salmonid species, including Endangered Species Act-listed Chinook salmon, steelhead trout, and bull trout. The production, abundance, distribution, and the health of fish and other aquatic life is strongly influenced by water temperature, which affects their physiology and b

Groundwater Time-Series Data at Operable Unit 1, Naval Base Kitsap, Keyport, Washington

This Data Release includes time series data collected at Operable Unit 1, Naval Base Kitsap, Keyport, WA. Groundwater elevations and water-quality parameters in ten monitoring wells were monitored every 15 minutes over a 3-week period from 10/15/2019 to 11/05/2019, a period that included neap and spring tides. This data set is a re-deployment of sensors that follow the same methods of the previous
