Central Midwest Water Science Center
Data and Tools
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) currently operates and maintains data collection sites in the Central Midwest Water Science Center (Illinois, Iowa, and Missouri) for acquiring information about surface water, ground water, water quality, and precipitation to provide necessary information for our cooperators in this Center.
Topography at Select Dams in the Mark Twain National Forest, Missouri, 2018
The U.S. Department of Agriculture - Forest Service (USDA-FS) has been evaluating hazards and classifications at the dams of four small reservoirs in the Mark Twain National Forest in Missouri. These reservoirs are Crane Lake near Annapolis, Fourche Lake near Briar, McCormack Lake near Greer, and Sterling Hollow Lake near Willow Springs. Conventional topographic surveys were used to provide...
Annual Water Data Reports - Iowa, Illinois, and Missouri
Beginning with Water Year 2006 and ending with Water Year 2013, annual water data reports were made available as individual electronic Site Data Sheets for the entire Nation for retrieval, download, and localized printing on demand. As of 2014, NWISWeb now provides an on-demand, print-ready Water-Year Summary as an annual water-data product.
Bathymetric data for Clearwater Lake near Piedmont, Missouri, 2017
Clearwater Lake, on the Black River near Piedmont in Reynolds County, Missouri, was constructed in 1948 and is operated by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers for flood-risk reduction, recreation, and fish and wildlife habitat. The lake area is about 1,800 acres with about 34 miles of shoreline at the conservation pool elevation of 498 feet. Periodically, many lakes operated by the U.S. Army...
