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.
Basin Characteristic Rasters for Puerto Rico StreamStats, 2021
In cooperation with the Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) calculated over 40 different basin characteristics as part of preparing the Puerto Rico StreamStats application. These data were used to update the peak flow and low flow regression equations for Puerto Rico.
National Water Dashboard (NWD)
The National Water Dashboard (NWD) is a mobile, interactive tool that provides real-time information on water levels, weather, and flood forecasts - all in one place on a computer, smartphone, or other mobile device. The NWD presents real-time stream, lake and reservoir, precipitation, and groundwater data from more than 13,500 USGS observation stations across the country.
Conductivity, temperature, and salinity data for the Miami Pockmark and Key Biscayne Pockmark
Conductivity, temperature, and salinity data were collected from two offshore submarine pockmarks, Miami Pockmark and Key Biscayne Pockmark. A series of dives were performed to gather conductivity, temperature, and salinity data using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with a Conductivity, Temperature and Depth (CDT) instrument. These data were collected between May 5-8,
Methane, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide data for the Miami Pockmark and Key Biscayne Pockmark
Methane, nitrogen, oxygen, and carbon dioxide concentrations were collected at two offshore submarine pockmarks, Miami Pockmark and Key Biscayne Pockmark. A series of dives were performed to gather the data using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with an Underwater Mass Spectrometer (UMS) instrument. The data were collected May 5-8, 2016 using a Bluefin B12 AUV equipped wit
Multibeam sonar bathymetric data for the Miami Pockmark and Key Biscayne Pockmark
Multibeam sonar data showing the bathymetric survey of two offshore submarine sinkholes, Miami Sinkhole and Key Biscayne Sinkhole. A series of dives were performed to produce the bathymetric surveys using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) with a multibeam-sonar. These data were collected between May 5-8, 2016 using a Bluefin B12 AUV equipped with a Imagenex MBDelta and an onboard cal
Calculated Carbon Concentrations, Franklin Lock and Dam (S-79), south Florida, 2014-2017
This data release provides data for dissolved organic carbon concentrations calculated for USGS station number 02292900, Caloosahatchee River at S-79, NR. Olga, FLA. A site-specific regression model was developed using continuously measured specific conductance and fluorescence of chromophoric dissolved organic matter and concomitant discretely collected dissolved organic carbon samples to
Evaporation at LZ40 Platform, Lake Okeechobee, Palm Beach County, Florida, November 16, 2012 - December 31, 2019
Daily measurements of evaporation using the Bowen ratio method were made at USGS station name LZ40 (USGS site number 265405080472100), a platform-based station constructed by the South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) at the approximate center of Lake Okeechobee, Florida. Data collection began on November 15, 2012. Meteorological and environmental variables were measured ev
Daily reference and potential evapotranspiration, and supporting meteorological, solar insolation, and blue-sky albedo, Florida, 2019
Potential evapotranspiration (PET), and reference evapotranspiration (ETo) are estimated at an approximately 2-kilometer spatial grid and daily time-scale from January 1, 2019 to December 31, 2019 for the entire State of Florida. PET and ETo were computed on the basis of solar radiation, and meteorological data (min/max temperature, min/max relative humidity, and mean wi
Calculated mercury and carbon concentrations, USGS station 254543080405401: Tamiami Canal at S-12D Near Miami, Florida, 2013-2017
This data release provides data for filter-passing total mercury, filter-passing methylmercury, particulate total mercury, particulate methylmercury, and dissolved organic carbon concentrations calculated for USGS station 254543080405401: Tamiami Canal at S-12D Near Miami, FL. Five site-specific regression models were developed using continuously measured temperature, turbidity, s
GIS shapefile: Hendry and Palm Beach Counties, Florida irrigated agricultural land-use from January through December 2019
This data set consists of a detailed digital map of the extent of fields and a summary of the irrigated acreage for the period between January and December 2019 compiled for Hendry and Palm Beach Counties, Florida. Attributes for each field include a general or specific crop type, irrigation system, and primary water source.
Reported and inventoried crop and irrigated acreage in Hendry County, Florida, 1982-2019
A table summarizing the inventoried acreage by crop type and irrigation system was compiled for January to December 2019 for Hendry County, Florida. The irrigated acreage totals were derived from analyses of satellite and aerial imagery and then data were field verified in 2019. In addition, the table provides acreage totals by crop type reported by the U.S. Department of Commerce for 1982 an...
