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.

Predicted Temperature and Precipitation Values Derived from Modeled Localized Weather Regimes and Climate Change in the State of Massachusetts Predicted Temperature and Precipitation Values Derived from Modeled Localized Weather Regimes and Climate Change in the State of Massachusetts
Predicted temperature and precipitation values were generated throughout the state of Massachusetts using a stochastic weather generator (SWG) model to develop various climate change scenarios (Steinschneider and Najibi, 2022a). This data release contains temperature and precipitation statistics (SWG_outputTable.csv) derived from the SWG model under the surface warming derived from the...
Concentrations of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Lake-Bottom Sediments of Ashumet Pond on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 2020 (ver. 2.0, February 2024) Concentrations of Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Lake-Bottom Sediments of Ashumet Pond on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 2020 (ver. 2.0, February 2024)
Lake-bottom sediment and associated quality-control samples were collected in August 2020 from one coring location (U.S. Geological Survey station 413756070321301, ASHUMET POND, MASHPEE MI-ASHPD-0011) in Ashumet Pond downgradient from a former fire-training area on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. The core was collected to determine if per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) were present in...
MODPATH-NWT and MODPATH6 models used to compare a new general simulation model approach with a conventional inset model approach for groundwater residence time in glacial aquifers MODPATH-NWT and MODPATH6 models used to compare a new general simulation model approach with a conventional inset model approach for groundwater residence time in glacial aquifers
This groundwater-flow model archive/data release contains the model input and output files for 1) edited versions of four of the five NAWQA steady- state, inset MODFLOW-NWT models of regional model of Lake Michigan Basin (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185038) and 2) general models simulating the same four basins as the four inset models. Two HUC8 basins in the lower peninsula of Michigan...
Confirmatory Sampling for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Shallow Soils Across New Hampshire, 2022 Confirmatory Sampling for Per- and Polyfluoroalkyl Substances (PFAS) in Shallow Soils Across New Hampshire, 2022
Data for per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and related chemical and physical characteristics are presented from 30 soil sampling locations within the State of New Hampshire. A total of 15 sites were chosen based on the results of sampling efforts published in Santangelo and others(2022). Sites with relatively high concentrations of PFAS observed during the first study were...
Data for Regression Models to Estimate Water Use in Providence, Rhode Island, 2014-2021 Data for Regression Models to Estimate Water Use in Providence, Rhode Island, 2014-2021
This data release contains input data and programs (scripts) used to estimate monthly water demand for retail customers of Providence Water, located in Providence, Rhode Island. Explanatory data and model outputs are from July 2014 through June 2021. Models of per capita (for single-family residential customers) or per connection (for multi-family residential, commercial, and industrial...
Concentrations of metals and other water quality data for the Assabet and Concord Rivers, Massachusetts, 2008 Concentrations of metals and other water quality data for the Assabet and Concord Rivers, Massachusetts, 2008
This dataset contains water-quality data for stream samples collected by the U.S. Geological Survey at 12 sites on the Assabet and Concord Rivers in eastern Massachusetts in 2008. The samples were collected monthly from June to October, 2008. The water-quality parameters and constituents include field parameters (water temperature, specific conductance, pH, and dissolved oxygen)...
Field-scale investigation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) leaching from shallow soils to groundwater at two sites in New Hampshire, 2021-2022 Field-scale investigation of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) leaching from shallow soils to groundwater at two sites in New Hampshire, 2021-2022
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and related chemical and physical data are presented from shallow soil and groundwater at two sites in New Hampshire. The two sites, the former Brentwood Fire Training Area and White Farm, were selected because materials known to contain PFAS were used at each site. White Farm is an active farm where biosolids have been applied for several years...
Maine StreamStats Foundation Data Layers Maine StreamStats Foundation Data Layers
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with Maine Department of Transportation, has compiled a series of GIS datasets to be implemented into the USGS StreamStats application for the State of Maine.These data were compiled from the high-resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) and the Maine Lidar-Derived Watersheds (Sturtevant and Schoen, 2022). By using these datasets...
Examining the influence of deep learning architecture on generalizability for predicting stream temperature in the Delaware River Basin Examining the influence of deep learning architecture on generalizability for predicting stream temperature in the Delaware River Basin
This data release and model archive provides all data, code, and modelling results used in Topp et al. (2023) to examine the influence of deep learning architecture on generalizability when predicting stream temperature in the Delaware River Basin (DRB). Briefly, we modeled stream temperature in the DRB using two spatially and temporally aware process guided deep learning models (a...
Passive Seismic Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio Measurements at Transportation Infrastructure Sites in New Hampshire, 2022 Passive Seismic Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio Measurements at Transportation Infrastructure Sites in New Hampshire, 2022
In 2022, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the New Hampshire Department of Transportation (NHDOT) made 107 horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) passive seismic geophysical measurements at four transportation infrastructure sites in New Hampshire to determine the benefits of HVSR as an enhancement to traditional geotechnical site characterizations performed by...
Statewide survey of shallow soil concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and related chemical and physical data across New Hampshire, 2021 Statewide survey of shallow soil concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and related chemical and physical data across New Hampshire, 2021
Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and related chemical and physical data are presented from 100 shallow soil sampling locations within the State of New Hampshire. Sites were randomly determined through an equal-area grid approach (Scott, 1990) targeting undisturbed areas, which included lands classified by the 2016 National Land Cover Database (Dewitz, 2019) as forested...
Mercury, methylmercury, cations, dissolved organic carbon, and dissolved organic matter optical properties in small forest streams during five synoptic sampling campaigns at Sleepers River, Vermont, 2017-2018 Mercury, methylmercury, cations, dissolved organic carbon, and dissolved organic matter optical properties in small forest streams during five synoptic sampling campaigns at Sleepers River, Vermont, 2017-2018
The dataset describes mercury and dissolved organic matter concentration and quality over five synoptic sampling campaigns at 12 stream sites within the 41-hectare (ha) forested W-9 catchment at Sleepers River, Vermont, with an additional site at the downstream W-3 gage (837 ha). The five campaigns included a large (79 millimeter (mm)) fall storm, spring snowmelt, and spring, summer, and...
