Data
Staff of USGS Science Centers in Region 7: Upper Colorado Basin collect a wide variety of natural resource data types including spatial, geologic, hydrologic, and biologic. Data included in USGS-series publications that are not publicly available in USGS databases are published in Data Releases. Short descriptions and links to Data Releases produced by Region 7 Science Centers are shown below.
Real-time groundwater data sites in the WLCI area
Four wells in the WLCI area are continuously monitored to help describe the interaction between the groundwater and surface water.
Tolerance, phenology, and resistance data for streptanthus
Seed set coefficients of variation for two-decade periods (1900-2013)
Data Release of Geologic Map of the Weldona 7.5' Quadrangle, Morgan County, Colorado
Breeding Bird Survey songbird occurrences during 1977-1979 and 2012-2014 in conterminous U.S.
Geodatabase supporting the assessment of hydrologic resources and the potential effects from oil and gas development in the Bureau of Land Management Tri-County Planning Area, Sierra, Doa Ana, and Otero Counties, New Mexico
WaterQualityWatch -- Continuous Real-Time Water Quality of Surface Water in the United States
WaterQualityWatch (http://waterwatch.usgs.gov/wqwatch/) is a USGS web site that provides access to real time water-quality data collected in surface waters throughout the United States as part of the USGS mission to describe water resources. Measurements include streamflow (through WaterWatch) water temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, and nitrate.
WaterWatch
WaterWatch (http://waterwatch.usgs.gov) is a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) World Wide 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.
USGS Gage at Embudo Creek - Dixon, NM
A site on the Rio Grande near the town of Embudo, New Mexico, was established as the first USGS training camp for hydrographers.

Embudo, New Mexico, birthplace of systematic stream gaging | The USGS at Embudo, New Mexico: 125 years of systematic streamgaging in the United StatesAquifers: Map of the Principal Aquifers of the United States
The areal and vertical location of the major aquifers is fundamental to the determination of groundwater availability for the Nation. The map, which is derived from the Ground Water Atlas of the United States, indicates the areal extent of the uppermost principal aquifers on a national scale.
Surface-water data for Wyoming
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 Wyoming. Surface-water data are collected and stored as either discrete field-water-level measurements or as continuous time-series data from automated recorders.
Groundwater data for Wyoming
Data from wells in Wyoming; 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.
