Software

The USGS Water Resources Mission Area provides water information that is fundamental to national and local economic well-being, protection of life and property, and effective management of the Nation’s water resources. Below, find software for a wide range of water resources research and management questions.

VMT Hydroacoustics Software

The Velocity Mapping Toolbox (VMT) is a Matlab-based software for processing and visualizing ADCP data collected along transects in rivers or other bodies of water. VMT allows rapid processing, visualization, and analysis of a range of ADCP datasets and includes utilities to export ADCP data to files compatible with ArcGIS, Tecplot, and Google Earth.

QRev 2 and 3

QRev is a USGS-developed MATLAB program that computes the discharge from a moving-boat ADCP measurement using data collected with any of the Teledyne RD Instrument (TRDI) or SonTek bottom tracking ADCPs. QRev improves the consistency and efficiency of processing streamflow measurements.

Extrap Hydroacoustics Software

Tool to assist in selecting an appropriate extrapolation method for ADCP discharge computations.

AreaComp Hydroacoustics Software

AreaComp is a software for computing stage area ratings from hydrologic measurements.

Stationary Moving-Bed Analysis (SMBA) Software

Stationary Moving-Bed Analysis (SMBA) computes the dot product of the bottom track vector onto the unit water vector and determines the moving bed velocity in the upstream direction relative to the water velocity vector. This program is applicable to all stationary moving bed test.

RSMatrix Hydroacoustics Software

The purpose of RSMatrix is to provide an program that can be run outside Matlab and used by non-Matlab owners to read the ADCP transformation matrices from a RiverSurveyor Live generated Matlab file.

Loop Correction Software (LC)

The LC program automates the application of the loop method for correcting discharges measured using bottom track with a moving bed present.

Equal Discharge Increment (EDI) Software

EDI facilitates easy use of an ADCP discharge measurement for computing the locations and associated depth and water velocity for collecting Equal-discharge-increment method sediment and water-quality samples.

National Streamflow Statistics (NSS) Application

The National Streamflow Statistics (NSS) Application is an online computer application that provides a simple method for applying regional flood-peak streamflow estimates and low flow frequency/duration streamflow estimates.

Reston Stable Isotope Lab Laboratory Information Management System (LIMS) for Lasers & Light Stable Isotopes

The Reston Stable Isotope Laboratory LIMS (Laboratory Information Management System) software suite is available for download: 1) LIMS for Lasers 2015 for off-axis and cavity ring-down laser absorption spectrometers, 2) LIMS Data Viewer, a companion utility that allows read-only access to LIMS for Lasers data, and 3) LIMS for Light Stable Isotopes for isotope-ratio mass spectrometers.

Python GIS Flood Tool (pygft)

The Python GIS Flood Tool (pygft) was designed to process stream, catchment, and elevation datasets in order to assess the extent and depth of flooding for each stream reach. The model itself is light-weight, created with the capability to scale to larger regions or CONUS (conterminous United States) scales.

WaveLab

The WaveLab software was designed to extract sea and barometric pressure data from selectively deployed instruments, calculate water levels, and finally compute wave statistics where applicable. There is also a utility to extract slices from the sea and barometric pressure time series for multiple purposes including getting values of interest and cropping out spurious values. The output includes
