Treasure Valley Drains

To begin filling data gaps for development of a Treasure Valley groundwater-flow model, we installed 10 new real-time streamgages on drains along the lower Boise River from Eagle to Parma. The streamgages will monitor the amount of shallow groundwater the aquifer system discharges to surface water. This was a missing component in previously developed models.

Idaho WaterWatch

Map of real-time streamflow for Idaho compared to historical streamflow for the day of the year

Idaho Real-Time Groundwater Level Network

The Real Time Groundwater Level Network contains water levels and well information from wells with "real time" data transmission instrumentation. 

Idaho WaterQualityWatch

Map of real-time water temperature and other water-quality conditions for selected sites in Idaho

Idaho Active Water Level Network

The Active Groundwater Level Network contains water levels and well information for wells that have been measured by the USGS or USGS cooperators at least once within the past 13 months.

Idaho Climate Response Network

The USGS maintains a network of wells to monitor the effects of droughts and other climate variability on groundwater levels. 

Idaho Active Spring Monitoring Sites

The Active Springs Monitoring Sites Network provide data from springs in the active measurement program of the U.S. Geological Survey

Bridge Scour Countermeasure Assessment Data for Select Bridges in the United States

Scouring of streambed material surrounding bridge structures is a leading cause of bridge failure in the United States. Damages resulting from bridge failure oftentimes lead to financial burdens and loss of life. To date, there has been no comprehensive evaluation of the current (2016) effectiveness of the guidance or overall long-term performance of bridge-scour countermeasures provided in the Fe

Data release for microplastics in water, sediment, fish, and mussels in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, Wisconsin and Minnesota, 2015

This dataset describes the concentration and morphology of microplastics in the St. Croix National Scenic Riverway and Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, Wisconsin and Minnesota. Samples were collected during baseflow conditions at eight locations during the week of August 3-7, 2015. Four types of samples were collected: water surface, streambed sediment, smallmouth bass (Micropterus

Microplastics in 29 Great Lakes tributaries (2014-15)

This dataset describes the quantity and morphology of floating microplastics in 29 Great Lakes tributaries in 6 states. Samples were collected in spring 2014 spring 2015. Each tributary was sampled three to four times, capturing low-flow and runoff-event conditions. Sampling and analysis methods are described in the .xml metadata file. These data are interpreted in a journal article (pending).
