Data

This dataset contains estimates of water withdrawals from 66 principal aquifers and "other" non-principal aquifers during 2015 for various categories of use in each county or county equivalent in the United States, Puerto Rico, and the U.S. Virgin Islands. The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) National Water Use Science Project is responsible for compiling and disseminating the Nation's...

The RESTORE/fdclmrpplo repository contains R language source code used for estimation of the L-moments and percent no-flow conditions (no-flow fractions) for decadal flow-duration curves and estimation at streamgages and level-12 hydrologic unit codes using generalized additive models and censored generalized additive models. The source code is designed to streamline the workflow for the...

The utc2nwislocal package in the R language provides a light-weight, dependency-free utility for converting Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) base::as.POSIXct() date-time values into character-string representations for time zones. The UTC offsets for individual time zones are determined from the time-zone codes recognized by the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System...

To improve flood-frequency estimates at rural streams in Alabama, annual exceedance probability (AEP) flows at gaged streams in Alabama and regional-regression equations, used to estimate AEP flows for ungaged streams in Alabama, were developed using current geospatial data, additional statistical methods, and annual peak-flow data through the 2015 water year. The regional-regression...

This data release contains estimated daily streamflow values for 9,203 12-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUC12s) in the southeastern United States for the period 1950-2009. The files are provided in text format, which can be used in R and in other programs. The 'Site Info' folder contains 18 files with streamgage information and the 'Daily Values' folder contains 18 files with predicted...

A three-dimensional groundwater flow model (MODFLOW-2005) of the Mississippi embayment, South-Central United States, was developed as part of a national project initiated by the U.S. Geological Survey Groundwater Resources Program to provide updated assessments of groundwater availability in important principal aquifers across the United States. The goals of the national assessment are...

The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model was used to aid in the interpretation of monitoring data and simulate streamflow and water-quality conditions in streams across the Southeast Region of the United States. SPARROW is a hybrid empirical/process-based mass balance model that can be used to estimate the major sources...

An R groundwater-data processing utility for manipulating, veracity checking, and converting an 'infoGW' object to the 'GWmaster' object for the visGWDB software with demonstration for the Mississippi River Valley alluvial aquifer

This data release includes data-processing scripts, data products, and associated metadata for a remote-sensing based approach to characterize vegetation sensitivity to droughts from 2000 through 2016 in the U.S. states of Washington, Oregon, and Idaho. Drought sensitivity analysis was conducted in minimally-disturbed ('intact') forest and shrub-steppe ecosystems, defined as 1-km pixels...

This data release contains input data files (R scripts and supporting data files) and results tables associated with analyses that describe the predicted effects of surface-water withdrawal scenarios on specific stream flow characteristics (SFC), changes in fish species richness, and maximum allowable withdrawal (MAW) thresholds from stream sites within the Tennessee and Cumberland River...

These datasets include wells, springs, and contours used to construct the Hot Springs Highway 270 bypass pre-construction potentiometric-surface map. During the summer of 2017, the U.S. Geological Survey and Hot Springs National Park Service collected groundwater measurements from 66 wells - 59 measurements were used to construct a potentiometric-surface map of wells screened in the...

This data release consists of two .csv files of inverted models of electrical resistivity created from the processed resistivity data in the accompanying two data releases: (Miller and Others, 2018) and (2018 Raw and Processed, in progress). During 2016, 17, and 18, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted continuous resistivity profiling along 15 rivers or lakes in the Mississippi Alluvial...
