Annual estimates of suspended-sediment concentration and load to support trend analysis on the Mississippi River and Atchafalaya River, 1980-2015

This data release contains annual estimates of suspended-sediment concentration and load for the Mississippi River, St. Francisville site and the Atchafalaya River, Melville site from 1980-2015. Annual estimates and flow-normalized estimates were generated using the Weighted Regressions on Time, Season and Discharge (WRTDS) model. Input data for the model included suspended-sediment concentrations

7Q10 Records and Basin Characteristics for 173 basins in Arkansas, Iowa, Kansas, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma (2017)

This data release replicates the methods detailed in the 2017 publication titled "Improving predictions of hydrological low-flow indices in ungaged basins using machine learning" for a different data set. The original data set and the associated readme file for the model archive can be viewed here: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7CR5S4T. The original data set contained streamflow data for sites located

2010 county and city-level water-use data and associated explanatory variables

This data release contains the input-data files and R scripts associated with the analysis presented in [citation of manuscript]. The spatial extent of the data is the contiguous U.S. The input-data files include one comma separated value (csv) file of county-level data, and one csv file of city-level data. The county-level csv (county_data.csv) contains data for 3,109 counties. This data includes

Water withdrawals by source and category in Louisiana Parishes, 2014-2015

Information concerning the availability, use, and quality of water in the 64 parishes of Louisiana is critical for water-supply management. In cooperation with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Lower Mississippi-Gulf (LMG) Water Science Center has been collecting, compiling, and publishing water-withdrawal and water-use information on a 5

Water-level models used to estimate drawdown in 32 monitoring wells screened in the Mississippi River Valley Alluvial aquifer and 4 observation wells screened in the Memphis aquifer during an aquifer test at the Tennessee Valley Authority Allen power plan

This data release presents tabular data and water-level drawdown model files for 32 Mississippi River Valley Alluvial aquifer monitoring wells and 4 Memphis aquifer observation wells from an aquifer test conducted in October 2017 at the Tennessee Valley Authority Allen power plants in Memphis, Shelby County, Tennessee. The dataset contains the water-level model files used to estimate drawdown in t

Irrigated Acreage in Tennessee Counties, 1934 to 2017 (ver. 1.1, June 2022)

Understanding the number of acres of farmland irrigated and the amount of water used for irrigation is central to water-resource planning and public decision making. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Tennessee Department of Environment and Conservation, Division of Water Resources (TDEC-DWR), compiled available 5-year, county-level data on irrigated acres in Tennessee from

Bathymetry and Storage Capacity of Blue Mountain Lake, Arkansas

A bathymetric survey of Blue Mountain Lake, Arkansas, was conducted in May 2017 by the Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) using methodologies for sonar surveys similar to those described by Wilson and Richards (2006). Point data from the bathymetric survey were merged with point data from an aerial LiDAR survey conducted in December 2010 for the U.S.

Flood of March 2016 in Louisiana, Texas, Mississippi, and Arkansas

Heavy rainfall occurred across Louisiana, Texas, Arkansas, and Mississippi in March, 2016 as a result of a slow-moving southward dip in the jet stream funneling tropical moisture into parts of the Gulf Coastal States and the Mississippi River Valley. The storm caused major flooding in the northwestern and southeastern portions of Louisiana and in eastern Texas. Flooding also occurred in the Missi

Water-borne continuous resistivity profiling data from select streams of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain in northwestern Mississippi

This data release consists of two different datasets, waterborne resistivity profiling data and water quality data collected during profiling. In fresh water aquifers, the geoelectric resistivity of earth materials commonly has a positive correlation with hydraulic conductivity. In June 2016, continuous resistivity profiling data were collected, as a proxy for streambed hydraulic conductivity,
