Data

Data from wells, springs, test holes, tunnels, drains, and excavations in Nebraska; 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.

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 Nebraska. Surface-water data are collected and stored as either discrete field-water-level measurements or as continuous time-series data from automated recorders.

The Nebraska Continuous Water-Quality Network is part of USGS WaterQualityWatch. This web site provides maps that track short-term changes in water quality. Temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, nitrate, discharge, chlorophyll, and surrogate data are available.

Real-time computed concentrations of water-quality constituents such as suspended sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus are calculated using ordinary least squares regression models. The results of these models, along with direct water-quality measurements, can be viewed here as time-series graphs, or downloaded as tabular data.

This USGS data release contains station and laboratory method information and geospatial information, as well as concentration results for inorganic and organic compounds and bioluminescent yeast estrogen screen and transgenic zebrafish embryo estrogren bioassay, analyzed at 38 sites in 25 states as part of the Chemical Mixtures and Environmental Effects Pilot Study, 2012-2014.

The effects of climate change have the potential to impact slope stability. Negative impacts are expected to be greatest at high northerly latitudes where degradation of permafrost in rock and soil, debuttressing of slopes as a result of glacial retreat, and changes in ocean ice-cover are likely to increase the susceptibility of slopes to landslides. In the United States, the greatest...

An improved understanding of groundwater flow and radionuclide migration downgradient from underground nuclear-testing areas at Pahute Mesa, Nevada National Security Site, requires accurate subsurface hydraulic characterization. To improve conceptual models of flow and transport in the complex hydrogeologic system beneath Pahute Mesa, the U.S. Geological Survey characterized bulk...

This dataset contains water surface elevations for the wetlands in the Cottonwood Lake Study Area, Stutsman County, North Dakota, 1979 through 2015.

This dataset contains the specific conductance values for all wetlands in the Cottonwood Lake Study Area, Stutsman County, North Dakota, 1992 through 2015.

The National Water Quality Network (NWQN) for Rivers and Streams includes 113 surface-water river and stream sites monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Program (NWQP). The NWQN represents the consolidation of four historical national networks: the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Project, the USGS National Stream Quality Accounting Network...

In the face of sea level rise and as climate change conditions increase the frequency and intensity of topical storms along the north-Atlantic Coast, coastal areas will become increasingly vulnerable to storm damage, and the decline of already-threatened species could be exacerbated. Predictions about response of coastal birds to efrfect of hurricane will b eessential for anticipating...
