Water Use in Tennessee, 2010
The water resources in Tennessee are likely to be stressed in the future by factors such as population increase, urban and suburban development, climate change, and other competing demands. Water-resource managers and policy makers will need accurate water-use data for regional water-supply planning including infrastructure investment, conservation, and cost-recovery strategies. Quantifying public
Early Estimates of Herbaceous Annual Cover in the Sagebrush Ecosystem
Cheatgrass dramatically changes shrub steppe ecosystems in the West, mainly by changing the fire regime. The creation of maps of current-season cheatgrass location and density has been difficult to estimate rapidly. USGS researchers have developed methods for producing a near-real-time cheatgrass percent cover dataset. They have completed a dataset that depicts cheatgrass across a large portion of
Meteorological Database, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, January 1, 1948 - September 30, 2015
This data release is the update of the data release Bera and Over (2016) with the processed data through September 30, 2015. The primary data for each year is downloaded from the ANL website (http://gonzalo.er.anl.gov/ANLMET/numeric/) and is processed following the guidelines documented in Over and others (2010).

Toxicity and chemistry data from an evaluation of metal-contaminated sediments from the Upper Columbia River, Washington, 2013-2014
This resource contains chemistry and toxicity data from sediment toxicity tests conducted by the USGS Columbia Environmental Research Center with 66 sediment samples collected from in and around the Upper Columbia River in the fall of 2013. Toxicity testing was conducted from fall 2013 through summer 2014 with the amphipod, Hyalella azteca, the midge Chironomus dilutus, and the mussel Lampsilis si
Standardization and Application of an Index of Community Integrity for Waterbirds in the Chesapeake Bay
In recent decades, there has been increasing interest in the application of ecological indices to assess ecosystem condition in response to anthropogenic activities. DeLuca et al. (2008) developed an Index of Waterbird Community Integrity (IWCI) to evaluate breeding waterbird response to anthropogenic activities in the Chesapeake Bay, USA. As we attempted to apply this index to a study in the same
Delineation of marsh types and marsh type-change in Coastal Louisiana for 2007 and 2013
The Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) researchers often require detailed information regarding emergent marsh vegetation types (i.e., fresh, intermediate, brackish, and saline) for modeling habitat capacities and mitigation. In response, the U.S. Geological Survey, in collaboration with the Bureau of Ocean Energy Management produced a detailed change classification of emergent marsh vegetat
Potentiometric contours for the Nacatoch aquifer of Northeastern and Southwestern Arkansas and the Tokio aquifer of Southwestern Arkansas, 201415
The Nacatoch Sand in northeastern and southwestern Arkansas and the Tokio Formation in southwestern Arkansas are sources of groundwater for agricultural, domestic, industrial, and public use. Water-level altitudes measured in 51 wells completed in the Nacatoch Sand and 42 wells completed in the Tokio Formation during 2014 and 2015 were used to compile potentiometric-surface maps of the two areas.
WaterWatch - View streamflow data using maps, graphs, and tables.
WaterWatch is a U.S. Geological Survey Web site that displays maps, graphs, and tables describing real-time, recent, and past streamflow conditions for the United States. The real-time information generally is updated on an hourly basis.
Monthly trematode infections of the snail Cerithidiopsis (Cerithidea) californica at Carpinteria Salt Marsh, California USA, February 2012 to January 2014
Each month (except March 2012), we collected detailed data on the infection status of intertidal snails from ten fixed sites as part of a broader effort to understand food webs in California Estuaries. The study site was Carpinteria Salt Marsh Reserve, California USA, (University of California Natural Reserve System), which comprises 9 Ha tidal channels, 2 Ha salt flats, 17 Ha upland habitat, 6 Ha
Data release for persistence of historical population structure in an endangered species despite near-complete biome conversion in Californias San Joaquin Desert
The recency of large-scale land conversion in Californias San Joaquin Desert raises the probability that the regions numerous endemic species still retain genetic signatures of historical population connectivity. If so, genomic data can serve as a guidance tool for conserving lands that once supported habitat for gene movement. We studied the genetic structuring of the endangered blunt-nosed leopa
Groundwater Watch - Active Water Level Networks
The U.S. Geological Survey has a database/archive of about 850,000 wells across the Nation. The Active Groundwater Level Network contains water levels and well information from more than 20,000 wells that have been measured by the USGS or USGS cooperators at least once within the past 13 months.
Bridge Scour Countermeasure Assessment Data for Select Bridges in the United States
Scouring of streambed material surrounding bridge structures is a leading cause of bridge failure in the United States. Damages resulting from bridge failure oftentimes lead to financial burdens and loss of life. To date, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of the current (2016) effectiveness of the guidance or overall long-term performance of bridge-scour countermeasures provided in the Fe
