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.
Change factors to derive future precipitation depth-duration-frequency (DDF) curves at 174 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Atlas 14 stations in central and south Florida
This data release consists of Microsoft Excel workbooks, shapefiles, and a figure related to a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey and the South Florida Water Management District to derive future change factors for precipitation depth-duration-frequency (DDF) curves at 174 National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Atlas 14 stations in central and south Florida...
GIS shapefile and related summary data describing irrigated agricultural land-use in Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, Florida for 2019-2021
A Geographic Information System (GIS) shapefile and summary tables of field-verified irrigated agricultural land-use between January 2019 and February 2021 are provided for Broward and Miami-Dade Counties, Florida, compiled through a cooperative project between the U.S Geological Survey and the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Office of Agricultural Water Policy.
Spatial and tabular datasets of water withdrawals and use in Puerto Rico, 2015
The U.S. Geological Survey has compiled information on water withdrawal and use for Puerto Rico at 5-year intervals since 1980 to provide data for the management of the Commonwealth’s water resources. For 2015, fourteen tables and one shapefile were compiled to provide water withdrawals by municipalities and other water use information.
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.
Spatial and bathymetric data for Lago Patillas, Puerto Rico, August 2019
Metadata for this geodatabase describe datasets included in the bathymetric study completed for Lago Patillas in August 2019. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Puerto Rico Electric Power Authority, carried out a bathymetric survey to update stage-volume table for Lago Patillas and to generate a bathymetric map.

Geospatial Datasets for Watershed Delineation Used in the Development of the USGS StreamStats Application for Puerto Rico
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Puerto Rico Environmental Quality Board, has compiled a series of geospatial datasets for Puerto Rico to be implemented into the USGS StreamStats application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov/ss/). These geospatial datasets were used to delineate watersheds and develop the peak-flow and low-...
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.
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.
