This standalone software application provides an integrated set of tools for inferring river discharge Q from remotely sensed data based on critical flow theory, a method introduced by Legleiter et al. (2025). This approach can yield accurate streamflow estimates in rivers with well-defined standing wave trains, referred to as undular hydraulic jumps (UHJ's). Once an image with clearly...

This product is a series of Jupyter Notebook tutorials that are designed to help researchers preprocess data and statistically compare modelled and observational precipitation, temperature, and radiation data. The first notebook walks researchers through setting up their environment, important concepts, querying data sources, and filtering their data to the same temporal and spatial...

DynRat was developed by the USGS to develop dynamic rating models using a method called DYNPOUND, which accommodates compound and compact channel geometry to model hysteresis. The latest release can be downloaded from the releases section in the repository. Additions, bug fixes, changes, and links to releases can be viewed in the [/dynamic-rating/dynrat/-/blob/master/userguide/docs...

This standalone software application provides a means of inferring water depth from passive optical remotely sensed data via a machine learning-based workflow: Hyperspectral Imaging of River Bathymetry using an Ensemble of Regression Trees, or HIRBERT for short. This approach could provide accurate depth estimates in clear-flowing, relatively shallow streams but is less likely to yield...

The need to assess the effects of variability in climate, biota, geology, and human activities on water availability and flow can be assessed with computer models that simulate the hydrologic cycle at a watershed scale. The Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) is a deterministic, distributed-parameter, physical process-based modeling system developed to evaluate the response of...

The Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System is a deterministic, distributed-parameter, physical process based modeling system developed to evaluate the response of various combinations of climate and land use on streamflow and general watershed hydrology.

This pipeline uses the data from the 2012 regional Sparrow models (see **Input datasets** below) to produce four types of outputs: 1. Maps of SPARROW-estimated total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total suspended-sediment yields and concentrations across the conterminous United States (CONUS); 2. Bar plots showing the amount of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and suspended sediment...

This pipeline analyzes estimates of streamflow, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and snow water equivalent among other hydrologic states and fluxes from two national hydrologic models: the National Hydrologic Model application of the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) and the Weather Research and Forecasting hydrologic modeling system (WRF-Hydro). Both of these models are...

PHREEQC Version 3 is a computer program for speciation, batch-reaction, one-dimensional transport, and inverse geochemical calculations.

PHAST Is a computer program for simulating groundwater flow, solute transport, and multicomponent geochemical reactions.

This software release contains code to process and create pie and bar charts that display high, moderate, and low concentrations of groundwater constituents across principal aquifer locations in the conterminous United States for the National Integrated Water Availability Assessment (IWAAs) Water Quality Chapter. Data are processed from Lindsey et al., 2022 and Belitz et al., 2022. Water...

This software release provides a means of inferring river discharge from remotely sensed data based on critical flow theory. This approach is only applicable to rivers with well defined standing waves and involves measuring their wavelength and the width of the channel. These data are then used to calculate flow velocity, water depth, and river discharge based on an assumption of...
