The approach crest-stage gages at the gage, Stillwater River near Ansonia, Ohio (03263168).

Crest-Stage Streamgage Network In Ohio

Historically, streams with drainage areas less than 100 square miles have not been adequately represented in regional peak flow analysis. To help fill this data gap, crest-stage gages were installed in 2001 at 18 sites throughout Ohio in order to augment the peak flow record for small streams (less than 100 square miles). After enough peak flow data have been collected at these sites, an updated...

Bathymetric survey of Otter Creek near Oregon, Ohio, September 26, 2023

Presented here are bathymetric data collected at Otter Creek near Oregon, Ohio. Data were collected on September 26, 2023, and were located bewtween the Millard Avenue bridge and the mouth at Lake Erie. The survey was completed using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) that was deployed from the side of a kayak. Data were georeferenced using a global navigation satellite system (GNSS) smar

Supporting data for low-flow statistics computed for streamflow gages and methods for estimating selected low-flow statistics for ungaged stream locations in Ohio, water years 1975–2020 (ver. 1.1, October 2024)

This data release comprises the tabular data used to develop regression equations for estimating selected low-flow statistics for ungaged streams in Ohio that are not substantially affected by regulation, diversions, or other anthropogenic influences, and the geographic information systems (GIS) layer to implement them in the U.S. Geological Survey StreamStats application (https://streamstats.usgs

Water velocity profile measurements in River Raisin near Monroe, Michigan, August 17-September 13, 2023

These data were collected by a SonTek Argonaut-XR 3000-MHz 3D acoustic Doppler current meter (ADCM) that was mounted on an approximately 75-pound mounting plate. The ADCM was deployed on the bottom of River Raisin at approximately 41.899978°N, -83.353548°E and took measurements from August 17-September 13, 2023. These data were collected in cooperation with U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (US

Measurements of velocity and bathymetry in the Ashtabula River near Ashtabula, Ohio, July 12–14, 2022

These data are depth-averaged velocities measured by an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP), as well as continuous depth-averaged velocities from a stationary location measured with an acoustic Doppler velocity meter (ADVM). These data were collected from the July 12-14, 2022, survey of the Ashtabula River near Ashtabula, Ohio. The location of the ADCP data are from approximately 1,500 feet u

Survey of velocity and bathymetery in Hoover Reservoir, ADCP source data, Columbus, OH (August, 2015)

These data were collected using a 600 kHz Rio Grande ADCP (acoustic Doppler current profiler) in mode 12 from a moving boat. The data were georeferenced with a Hemisphere A101 Smart Antenna differential GPS. These data were processed with Teledyne RD Instruments' software, WinRiver II. These data were collected concurrently with several water quality parameters that were collected by an autonomous

Low-flow statistics computed for streamflow gages and methods for estimating selected low-flow statistics for ungaged stream locations in Ohio, water years 1975–2020

A study was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Ohio Water Development Authority and the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency, to compute low-flow frequency, flow-duration, and harmonic mean flow statistics for long-term streamflow gages and to develop regression equations to estimate those statistics at unregulated, ungaged stream locations in Ohio.

Response of currents and water quality to changes in dam operations in Hoover Reservoir, Columbus, Ohio, August 24–28, 2015

Hoover Reservoir, an important drinking water supply for the City of Columbus, Ohio, has been the source of a series of taste and odor problems in treated drinking water during the past few years. These taste and odor problems were caused by the compounds geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol, which are thought to have been related to cyanobacteria blooms. In an effort to reduce the phosphorus available
