Hydrologic Data
We provide current and historical surface-water, groundwater, water quality, water use, and ecological data in various formats (map, graphical, tabular).
Hydrology Monitoring Tools
Our data and tools are digital information in a format suitable for direct input to software that can analyze its meaning in the scientific, engineering, or business context for which the data were collected.
Evapotranspiration within Blue Cypress Marsh, Vero Beach, Florida, 2015 to 2018
The dataset consists of a table in Excel format of daily evapotranspiration (ET) from 12/1/2015 to 6/13/2018 at ET station within the Blue Cypress Marsh Conservation Area near Vero Beach, Florida. Evapotranspiration was estimated using eddy-covariance methods. Data processing followed methods outlined by Shoemaker and others (2011). Ancillary data includes net radiation, latent heat,...

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides spatial water-quality data collected from the St. Lucie and Caloosahatchee Rivers in October 2017, Lake Okeechobee and the Caloosahatchee River in July 2018 and the Caloosahatchee River, St. Lucie River and Lake Okeechobee in August of 2018, south Florida. Geo-referenced measurements of near surface water temperature, specific...
Shapefile of ponds overlying the South Coast aquifer, Santa Isabel area, Puerto Rico, March – April, 2014
These data contain locations of 11 irrigation ponds used in construction of the potentiometric map of the South Coast aquifer in the Santa Isabel area of southern Puerto Rico during March 31 to April 17, 2014.santa
Shapefile of discrete water-level measurements in the South Coast aquifer, Santa Isabel area, Puerto Rico, March – April, 2014
These data contain groundwater level measurements at 55 locations, used in construction of the potentiometric map of the South Coast aquifer in the Santa Isabel area of southern Puerto Rico during March 31 to April 17, 2014. Measured values of the potentiometric surface ranged from -22.8 feet to 185.4 feet above mean sea level.
Shapefile of the potentiometric contours the South Coast aquifer, Santa Isabel area, Puerto Rico, March - April, 2014
These data contain the estimated locations of potentiometric contours of the South Coast aquifer in the Santa Isabel area of southern Puerto Rico during March 31 to April 17, 2014.
Data and Shapefiles for the Potentiometric Surface of the South Coast Aquifer and Hydrologic Conditions in the Santa Isabel area, Puerto Rico, March-April 2014
A groundwater level survey and reconnaissance of the hydrologic conditions in the South Coast aquifer in the Santa Isabel area of southern Puerto Rico was conducted during March 31 to April 17, 2014. The field survey included groundwater level measurements at 55 wells and instantaneous streamflow measurements at 15 locations in streams and irrigation canals. A potentiometric surface map of the...
Shapefile of surface-water discharge measurements overlying the South Coast aquifer, Santa Isabel area, Puerto Rico, March – April, 2014
These data contain instantaneous streamflow measurements at 15 locations in streams and irrigation canals used in construction of the potentiometric map of the South Coast aquifer in the Santa Isabel area of southern Puerto Rico during March 31 to April 17, 2014.
Groundwater Levels at Selected Observation Wells in the South Coast of Puerto Rico
Depth-to-water is measured periodically to evaluate hydrologic conditions at important aquifers throughout Puerto Rico. The water-level measurements from observation wells can be computed to understand the hydrologic stresses acting on aquifers and how these stresses affect groundwater conditions.
Hydrologic Conditions of Selected Reservoirs in Puerto Rico
The following graphs show water surface elevations above NGVD 1929 in selected reservoirs for several years, including 2015. The purpose of these graphs is to compare water surface elevations during 2015 with water surface elevations observed during years when documented droughts have occurred.

Water Level and Salinity Analysis Mapper
The Water Level and Salinity Analysis Mapper is designed to conduct automated statistical and graphical analyses on water-level and salinity data collected from sites monitored by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in South Florida.
Reported and inventoried crop and irrigated acreage in Lee County, Florida, 1978-2018
A detailed table summarizing the irrigated acreage by crop type and irrigation system was developed for the 2018 growing season (November 2017 and September 2018) for Lee County, Florida. The acreage totals presented are derived from the results of a cooperative project that mapped and field-verified irrigated fields in Lee County, Florida. In addition, the table provides acreage totals by...
