Data

Hydrologic data collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, and archiving are major parts of the MD-DE-DC Water Science Center program. Much of the data are available on a near-real-time basis by satellite telemetry.

The data collected and the techniques used by USGS scientists should conform to or reference national and international standards and protocols...

Groundwater Quality and Plume Boundaries for Select Contaminants of Concern at Badger Army Ammunition Plant, Wisconsin (2000 - 2018)

This dataset describes concentrations of select contaminants in groundwater, collected at monitoring wells in the vicinity of the Badger Army Ammunition Plant in Sauk County, Wisconsin, between 2000 - 2018. The data were used to assess trends in contaminant concentrations over time, delineate plume boundaries at various time intervals, and assess the overall monitoring network at the Badger Army A

Low-altitude aerial imagery from unmanned aerial systems (UAS) at select locations over the Potomac River, October 2019

These digital images were taken at select locations over the Potomac River using 3DR Solo unmanned aircraft systems (UAS) in October 2019. These images were collected for the purpose of evaluating UAS assessment of river habitat data such as water depth, substrate type, and water clarity. Each UAS was equipped with a Ricoh GRII digital camera for natural color photos, used to produce digital eleva

Annual low flow, climate and watershed properties for 325 USGS gages in and near the Delaware River Basin

This dataset contains annual metrics quantifying low streamflows, climate, topography, land cover and geology for 325 USGS GAGES-2 watersheds within the Delaware River Basin boundary or with watershed centroids within a 25-mile buffer of the Delaware River Basin boundary.

Mean annual no flow, climate and watershed properties for 540 non-perennial USGS gages in the contiguous U.S.

This dataset contains mean-annual metrics quantifying intermittent streamflow, climate, topography, land cover and geology for 540 USGS GAGES-2 watersheds experiencing non-perennial flow.

Soil Water Balance Model datasets and models used to evaluate potential recharge to the Floridan Aquifer System, 1895 through 2010

A soil-water balance model (SWB) was developed to estimate potential recharge and irrigation water demand from the groundwater flow system in Florida and parts of Georgia, Alabama, and South Carolina for the period 1895 through 2010. This SWB model executable code detailed in the report SWB A Modified Thornthwaite-Mather Soil-Water-Balance Code for Estimating Groundwater Recharge; Chapter

Soil-Water Balance model and datasets used to estimate groundwater recharge Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender counties North Carolina 1980 through 2016

Soil water balance model archive for portions of North Carolina. The model was created to estimate recharge to the groundwater flow system in Brunswick, New Hanover, and Pender counties in North Carolina. The development of the model input and output files included in this model archive were created to support a regional groundwater flow model being produced for the surficial, Castle Hayne, and P

Estimated Use of Water in the United States County-Level Data for 2015

This dataset contains water-use estimates for 2015 that are aggregated to the county level in the United States. The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS's) National Water Use Science Project is responsible for compiling and disseminating the Nation's water-use data. Working in cooperation with local, State, and Federal agencies, the USGS has published an estimate of water use in the United States every

Urban sediment and fallout radionuclide input characteristics of Dead Run watershed in Catonsville, Maryland for 2017-2018 (ver. 1.1, March 2020)

This metadata record documents two comma delimited tables that contain information on fallout radionuclides and urban sediments within Dead Run watershed in Catonsville, Baltimore County, Maryland. Measurements include radiological activity for rainwater and sediment samples, sediment particle size information, suspended sediment concentration measurements, elemental composition of sediments, and

Contiguous US and Global streamflow gages measuring zero flow

We report the site number and locations of 5798 streamflow gages displaying zero flow for at least one day in their daily records. 4891 of these gages are from the GRDC network, and 906 are USGS gages in the contiguous US. Additionally, provisional data for two USGS gages 1) Rio Puerco near Bernardo, NM (USGS site: 08353000) and 2) Agua Fria River Near Mayer, AZ (USGS site: 09512500) are provided

Sub-annual streamflow responses to rainfall and snowmelt inputs in snow-dominated watersheds of the western U.S.

The data presented here contain quasi-event hydrologic response characteristics for quickflow response intervals (QRIs) calculated at 57 USGS GAGES-II reference watersheds in the western US. Each row in the attached csv contains characteristics for an individual QRI at one site. QRI characteristics include duration, antecedent flow, input, input rate,peak flow, potential evapotranspiration, quickf

Discharge and sediment data for selected tributaries to the Anacostia River, Washington, District of Columbia, 2003-18

Data release consists of five comma delimited text files containing discharge and sediment data for five gaged tributaries to the Anacostia River in Washington, District of Columbia. Data were collected from 2003 through 2018.
