Data

The New England Water Science Center operates over 500 real-time data collection sites throughout the six New England states. The sites collect surface-water, groundwater, water-quality, and precipitation data. Much of our real-time data is publicly available through NWIS. Additional data releases are also available on the page below.

CAnVAS Mean Climate Parameters with Uncertainty Estimates (1970-1999 and 2010-2099), Derived from Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs (MACAv2-Livneh) statistically downscaled Global Climate Models

This dataset contains the multi-model means of various climate parameters with uncertainty bounds from the Multivariate Adaptive Constructed Analogs statistically downscaled global climate model dataset for different time slices between 1970 and 2099. The data is provided for both the Representative Concentration Pathway 4.5 W m-2 and 8.5 W m-2 future climate scenarios.

Experimental testing for radon in laboratory and field using a coupled diffusive membrane and alpha track detector, 2024

Information on radon occurrence in groundwater systems is important to assess risks from radon exposure. For this study we developed a novel passive method to measure for dissolved radon in groundwater using a coupled diffusive membrane encasing an alpha track (AT) detector. The membrane is gas permeable but water impermeable, which allows for the deployment of AT detectors in aqueous environments

Data for Modeling Interbasin Transfers of Water in Colorado and the Northeast Region, United States.

Data used to predict flow characteristics of transfers of water between hydrologic basins at the hydrologic unit code 8 (HUC8 scale) using tree-based ensemble models—random forest models for Colorado and M5 cubist models for the Northeast Region (parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York)—are presented and documented in this data release. Interbasin transfers (IBTs) of waters are important c

Data for the Lakes and Impoundments Drought Index in the Massachusetts Drought Management Plan

The Massachusetts Drought Management Plan (DMP, 2023) uses data from select lake and impoundment systems as an index for drought in six of seven regions in the state. The contents of these lakes and impoundments are reported to Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation (DCR) and classified as one of five levels for drought severity ranging from level 0 (Normal; percentile greater tha

Magnetic Survey Data in Glastonbury, Connecticut 2023

A ground-based magnetic survey was conducted in Glastonbury, Connecticut. Magnetic surveys are passive, non-contact, surface geophysical methods that measure the total ambient magnetic field. The magnetic survey utilized a Geometrics G-858 MagMapper with dual cesium vapor magnetometers and a GEM Systems Base Station. Sixteen survey profiles, totaling 7 linear kilometers in length, were carried out

Model Archive, Input Data, Modeled Estimates of Water Use 2005-2021, and Forecasts of Water Use in 2030 and 2040 in Providence, Rhode Island

A water use study was conducted to understand the drivers of historical water use in the Providence Water Supply Board network (the service area of Providence Water Supply Board and its wholesale customers) and to forecast future water use in the same network. A cubist regression model was developed to model daily per capita water use rates for three water use categories in each of the 10 public w

Hydroacoustic Data to Support Embayment Monitoring in Long Island Sound, Mystic and Norwalk Embayments, Connecticut, 2023

This data release includes six months of hydroacoustic data collected during the 2023 water year, starting October 1, 2022 and ending April 11, 2023. Data were collected at four stations that are part of a discrete and continuous monitoring project in embayments on Long Island Sound to support nutrient management activities in Connecticut. The data were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USG

Data Supporting Phosphorus Load-Reduction Estimates from Leaf-Litter Removal in Central and Northwestern Vermont

Removal of leaf-litter may help municipalities reduce phosphorus loads. Catch-basin cleaning and street cleaning are two commonly used Best Management Practices that could be modified to remove leaves and qualify for additional load-reduction credits. This Data Release contains four tab-delimited .txt files containing additional information about the study area, characteristics of municipal street

Hydraulic Models and Supplementary Data for Selected Stream Crossing Sites in the Squannacook River Basin, North-Central Massachusetts (ver. 1.1, July 2024)

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected field survey data and developed one-dimensional U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) Hydrologic Engineering Center’s River Analysis System (HEC-RAS) hydraulic models for selected stream crossing sites in the Squannacook River Basin, north-central Massachusetts. A Geographic Information System (GIS) was developed to derive model input data from Light Dete

Bathymetric and Hydraulic Structure Survey of Still River, Danbury, Connecticut, 2023

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corp of Engineers (USACE) has collected survey data on the Still River in Danbury, Connecticut. This data release contains high-precision survey data of bathymetric stream channel cross-sections and hydraulic structure data for bridges, culverts, and dams.  

Massachusetts Stream Crossing Project Data Web Map Service

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst (UMass Amherst), in cooperation with the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection (MassDEP), began a series of studies in 2019 to develop a web-based statewide hydraulic modeling tool to provide preliminary culvert designs to support stream crossing replacement projects in Massachusetts. This Web Map Servi

Water level, water temperature, and specific conductance data collected during natural gradient tests in observation wells set in the upper transmissive zone of the Ogallala Aquifer, North East 2nd Street Superfund Site, Happy, Texas, 2023

Water level, water temperature, and specific conductance data were collected during natural gradient tests on six observation wells screened in the upper transmissive zone of the Ogallala aquifer at the North East 2nd Street Superfund site in Happy, Texas, from November 6-13, 2023. Tests involved gravity draining 100-160 gallons of a low-concentration salt-spiked solution with an associated specif
