Toxicity Assessment of Sediments Collected Upstream and Downstream of the White Dam in Clarke County, Georgia

A breach in the White Dam has been proposed to facilitate fish passage. As a Technical Assistance project, the U.S. Geological Survey provided toxicity assessments of sediment samples collected by USEPA personnel. These data describe water-quality conditions in exposure chambers during 42-d sediment exposures using the freshwater amphipod, Hyalella azteca.

Nutrient levels in surface waters of the Conasauga River and other tributaries within the Coosa River Watershed

Data Release for Report describes surface-water nutrient concentrations from multiple sites on the Conasauga River in northern Georgia in comparison with rivers in adjacent watersheds.

Experimental recovery rates of tidal marsh vegetation

We measured the response of plants to disturbance across a gradient in inundation times by transplanting tussocks of Schoenoplectus americanus into mesocosms of different elevation in two marsh organ platforms. Both organs were planted on April 11, 2012 and harvested on August 21, 2012. Plants in one organ were disturbed by clipping all above ground vegetation on June 20 2012 (62 days), and left u

Water-quality data for base flow and storm runoff samples collected in Johnson County, Kansas, from January 2015 through June 2016

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides selected discretely measured water-quality data collected from 27 monitoring sites in Johnson County, Kansas, during January 2015 through June 2016. Water-quality samples were analyzed for nutrients, Escherichia coli bacteria, total suspended solids, suspended-sediment concentration, and chlorophyll as part of a study to assess the water-qua

Milford Lake, Kansas, spatial water-quality data, July 27 and August 31, 2015

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides spatial water-quality data collected from Milford Lake, Kansas, on July 27 and August 31, 2015. All data are reported as raw measured values and are not rounded to USGS significant figures. Continuous water-quality monitors were used to measure water temperature, specific conductance, turbidity, pH, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, dissolved oxygen

Phytoplankton data for Milford Lake, Kansas, July 27 and August 31, 2015

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides phytoplankton data collected from Milford Lake, Kansas, during July 27 and August 31, 2015. This data release was produced in compliance with the federal open-data requirements as a way to make scientific products associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public. The dataset includes all samples collected at thr

Water-quality data from two sites on Milford Lake, Kansas, July 26-27 and August 30-31, 2015

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides continuously-measured water-quality data collected from two sites on Milford Lake, Kansas, during July 26-27 and August 30-31, 2015. All data are reported as raw measured values and are not rounded to USGS significant figures. Water-quality monitors were used to measure water temperature, specific conductance, turbidity, pH, chlorophyll, phy

Water-quality data from four Indian Creek sites, Johnson County, Kansas, July 22-25, 2014 and August 21-27, 2015

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides continuously measured water-quality data collected from four Indian Creek sites in Johnson County, Kansas during July 22-25, 2014 and August 21-27, 2015. Water-quality monitors were used to measure water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, turbidity, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, and nitrate at fifteen-minute intervals. This

Spatial water-quality data for Indian Creek, Johnson County, Kansas, May 23, 2013, July 23, 2014, July 30, 2015, and August 26, 2015

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides spatial water-quality data collected from Indian Creek in Johnson County, Kansas, on May 23, 2013, July 23, 2014, July 30, 2015, and August 26, 2015. Continuous water-quality monitors were used to measure water temperature, specific conductance, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, nitrate, and fluorescent dissolved org

Riparian Vegetation and Environmental Variables, Colorado River, 2014Data

These data consist of species relative cover, percent cover of dead plant material, percent cover of soil and rock, and a variety of broad - and local- scale environmental variables. These data relate to sample sites along the Colorado River through Grand Canyon between Lees Ferry and river mile 245. The plant and ground cover data included here were originally collected as a part of annual vegeta

Reanalysis of the Medina/Diversion Lake System Water-Budget, with Estimated Recharge to Edwards Aquifer, San Antonio Area, Texas

Hydrologic water-budgets were calculated for the Medina and Diversion Lake system near San Antonio, Texas for periods between March 1955 and June 2002. The hydrologic-budgets were calculated from daily hydrologic data that included precipitation, evaporation, streamflow, and change in reservoir storage. The residual of the hydrologic budgets represent ground-water outflow from the Medina and Diver

Laboratory results for anthropogenic bioactive chemicals in the Illinois Waterway upstream and downstream of the bigheaded carp population front (2015)

Two nonnative bigheaded carp species have invaded the Illinois River system and are a potential threat to the Great Lakes ecosystem. Discharges from industry, wastewater treatment plants, and urban and agricultural runoff, may be a factor contributing to the stalling of the upstream movement of the bigheaded carp population front near Illinois Waterway mile 278. In 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey
