Annual estimates of recharge, quick-flow runoff, and ET for the contiguous US using empirical regression equations, 2000-2013

This dataset includes 800m resolution long-term average estimates of evapotranspiration (ET), quick-flow runoff, and recharge within a closed water budget over the 2000-2013 time period and annual estimates for the individual years. It also includes other supporting data associated with the publication of these estimation methods in a concurrent journal article. These estimates were developed with

Conventional and quantitative PCR assays for detecting Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae in fish tissue and environmental DNA water samples

We developed and validated conventional and quantitative real-time PCR assays for the detection of DNA from the myxozoan parasite Tetracapsuloides bryosalmonae, the causative agent of proliferative kidney disease in fish. Assays were tested on fish tissue and on field-collected water samples to assess diagnostic and environmental DNA capabilities. The specificity, sensitivity, and broad applicabil

Surface-water data for New York

Real-time, daily, peak-flow, field measurements, and statistics of current and historical data that describe stream levels, streamflow (discharge), reservoir and lake levels, surface-water quality, and rainfall in New York. Surface-water data are collected and stored as either discrete field-water-level measurements or as continuous time-series data from automated recorders.

Animal Best Management Practice by Chesapeake Bay Watershed Region From 1985 to 2014

This metadata record covers 18 comma delimited files that support the USGS Scientific Investigations Report Manure and Fertilizer Inputs to Land in the Chesapeake Bay Watershed, 1950-2014 by Jennifer Keisman, Olivia Devereux, Andrew LaMotte, and Andrew Sekellick. The data were created by running scenarios through the Chesapeake Bay Program Partnership Phase 5.3.2 Watershed Model for years between

Groundwater Data for New York

Data from wells, springs, test holes, tunnels, drains, and excavations in New York; well location data includes information such as latitude and longitude, well depth, and aquifer. Groundwater level data are collected and stored as either discrete field-water-level measurements or as continuous time-series data from automated recorders.

Water-quality data for New York

Chemical, physical, and biological properties of water, sediment, and tissue samples from New York. Water-quality data are collected as either discrete field measurements or as continuous time-series data from automated recorders.

Water use data for New York

Water-use data are collected by area type (state, county, watershed, or aquifer) and source (rivers or groundwater), and category (such as public supply or irrigation). Water-use data has been reported every five years since 1950. The USGS works with local, State, and Federal agencies as well as other organizations to collect and report withdrawals.

SUPERSEDED: Gulf Watch Alaska Nearshore Component: Marine Water Quality, Water Temperature from Prince William Sound, Katmai National Park and Preserve, and Kenai Fjords National Park, 2014-2016

This data release has been SUPERSEDED. No data are provided here. Data from Gulf Watch Alaska nearshore water and air temperature sampling data releases have been appended to U.S. Geological Survey data release: https://doi.org/10.5066/F7WH2N3T. This data is part of the Gulf Watch Alaska (GWA) long term monitoring program, nearshore monitoring component. The data consists of date, time, and tempe

Metabolic-hydraulic modelData

The data contained in this workbook were compiled to investigate the relationship between hydrology of the Colorado River and ecosystem metabolism parameters (i.e., primary production and ecosystem respiration). The workbook contains data exploring the link between Colorado River discharges and water velocity, which are depicted in figure 2 of the associated manuscript. The workbook also contains

Multibeam bathymetry and sediment depth data at select locations on the Des Plaines River near Joliet, Illinois, February 1314, 2017

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (river bottom elevation) in XYZ format and measurements of sediment depth in CSV format, generated from the February 1314, 2017, topographic and hydrographic survey of the Des Plaines River near Brandon Road Lock and Dam at Joliet, Illinois. Hydrographic data were collected in three separate areas (approach channel, mooring area, and upstream pool) using a

Topographic Survey Data of Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the Confluence of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River, Colorado, 2012 to 2017

In 2012, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with Colorado Springs Utilities selected 10 reaches or study area along Fountain Creek between Colorado Springs and the confluence of Fountain Creek at the Arkansas River for annual bed and bank characterization and topographic surveys. The selected 10 study areas are approximately 5 to 20 bank-full channel widths in length. The topographic

Potentiometric Surface Contours, Wells, and Groundwater basin divides for the Upper Floridan Aquifer in Florida and Parts of Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama, May 2010 - Updated

The Floridan aquifer system covers nearly 100,000 square miles in the southeastern United States throughout Florida and in parts of Georgia, South Carolina, and Alabama, and is one of the most productive aquifers in the world (Miller, J.A., 1990, Ground Water Atlas of the United States-Segment 6: Alabama, Florida, Georgia, and South Carolina: U.S. Geological Survey Hydrologic Investigations Atlas
