This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides derivative statistics of water used by Kansas public-supply systems in 2016. Gallons per capita per day (gpcd) was calculated using self-reported information in the “Part B: Monthly Water Use Summary” and “Part C: Population, Service Connections, and Water Rates” sections of the Kansas Department of Agriculture, Division of Water Resources'

From 2018 to 2024 surface waters (fresh and brackish), groundwater, and stormwater (runoff, re-use) samples were collected from sites with varying landuse (agricultural, forested, and urban) and streamflow conditions and analyzed at the Organic Geochemistry Research Laboratory in Lawrence, Kansas for the tire antioxidant 6PPD (6-p-phenylenediamine; N-(1,3-Dimethylbutyl)-N’-phenyl-p-phenylenediamin

This dataset contains algal identification and enumeration data for phytoplankton samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) between July 2019 and November 2019 at seven reservoirs across the United States. Reservoirs sampled included Lake Koshkonong, Wisconsin, Pelican Lake, Minnesota, Lake Ida, Minnesota, Pomme de Terre, Minnesota, Lake Emily, Minnesota, Milford Lake, Kansas, and Jor

This model archival summary summarizes the suspended-sediment concentration (SSC; U.S. Geological Survey [USGS] parameter code 80154) model developed to compute 15-minute, hourly, or daily SSC from July 26, 2018, onward. This model is specific to USGS site 06887000, the Big Blue River near Manhattan, Kansas, during this study period and cannot be applied to data collected from other locations on t

This data release provides water-quality data collected and analyzed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) during 1972 through 2020. This data release includes a discrete water-quality concentration dataset (total dissolved solids, chloride, ammonia, nitrate, nitrite, nitrate plus nitrite, total Kjeldahl nitrogen, orthophosphate, total phos

This dataset provides the estimated cell abundance and total biovolume for whole-water picoplankton samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at 25 different sites in Kansas between August of 2020 and August of 2022. The samples were analyzed by BSA Environmental Services, Inc. This data is part of a larger multi-agency project between U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, National Ae

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release provides zooplankton data collected from Cheney Reservoir, Kansas, during October 2008 through October 2022. All data are reported as raw calculated values and are not rounded to USGS significant figures. This data release was produced in compliance with the open data requirements as a way to make scientific products associated with USGS research eff

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides phytoplankton data collected from Cheney Reservoir, Kansas, during June 2001 through October 2022. All data are reported as raw calculated values and are not rounded to USGS significant figures. This data release was produced in compliance with the open data requirements as a way to make scientific products associated with USGS research effo

This dataset describes irrigation water use in Kansas in 2015. Volumes of water used, irrigated area, and average irrigation application depths are provided for three sets of subareas: (1) Irrigation water use analysis regions that include Groundwater Management Districts (GMDs) with the areas outside of GMDs divided into eastern, central, and western Kansas; (2) Regional Planning Areas (RPAs), wh

The Marcellus Shale Energy and Environment Laboratory (MSEEL) is part of the Northeast Natural Energy LLC (NNE) production facility on the Monongahela River in Monongalia County, West Virginia, USA. Natural gas extraction in the area creates large volumes of wastewater that may contain chemical compounds that pose risks to humans, animals, and the environment. The U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) ha

This data release provides estimates of monthly wet atmospheric deposition of total inorganic nitrogen (TIN)--the summation of nitrate (NO3) and ammonium (NH4) ions--for the conterminous United States from 1999 through 2020 in units of kilograms nitrogen per square kilometer per month with spatial reference ESPG 4326. The spatial resolution of the gridded data provided in this release is approxima

Oklahoma State University South-Central Research Station (SCRS) was used to conduct research to understand the chemical composition of various water types and their potential environmental and human health effects. The study area provided the opportunity to study five water types: (1) receiving surface water (Washita River), (2) urban stormwater, (3) wastewater treatment plant effluent used for ir
