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.

Data Supporting Phosphorus Load-Reduction Estimates from Leaf-Litter Removal in Central and Northwestern Vermont 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...
Hydraulic Models and Supplementary Data for Selected Stream Crossing Sites in the Squannacook River Basin, North-Central Massachusetts (ver. 1.1, July 2024) 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...

Monitoring water quality, water-level changes, and bird-use relationships in BSNWR is important to the long-term sustainability of these aquatic resources for use by visitors and aquatic life in these habitats. This data release includes datasets of continuous and...
Bathymetric and Hydraulic Structure Survey of Still River, Danbury, Connecticut, 2023 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 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...
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 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...
Thermal Infrared Images of Groundwater Seeps in the Upper Shawsheen River Watershed, Massachusetts Thermal Infrared Images of Groundwater Seeps in the Upper Shawsheen River Watershed, Massachusetts
This USGS data release contains datasets and metadata associated with identifying locations of groundwater seepage to streams in the Upper Shawsheen River Watershed in Massachusetts. Data were collected in August 2023 to characterize the spatial distribution of groundwater seeps along streambanks within Elm Brook, Hartwell Brook, and the Shawsheen River. Discharge measurements were made...
Elevation-Derived Hydrography in the Upper Shawsheen River Basin, Massachusetts Elevation-Derived Hydrography in the Upper Shawsheen River Basin, Massachusetts
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Air Force Civil Engineer Center (AFCEC), has compiled Geographic Information Systems (GIS) datasets. The spatial data layers provided in this data release are hydrography data derived from high-resolution lidar digital elevation models (DEM). They include a hydroline polyline shapefile used to hydro-enforce the high-resolution...
Water Quality data from the Providence Water Supply Board for tributary streams to the Scituate Reservoir, water year 2017 Water Quality data from the Providence Water Supply Board for tributary streams to the Scituate Reservoir, water year 2017
Water-quality data were collected by the Providence Water Supply Board (PWSB) from tributaries in the Scituate Reservoir drainage area, October 2016 through September 2017 (water year 2017). Water-quality samples were collected by the PWSB either monthly or quarterly at fixed stations on 36 tributaries in the Scituate Reservoir drainage area. These data were used to calculate...
Water Quality data from the Providence Water Supply Board for tributary streams to the Scituate Reservoir, water year 2015 Water Quality data from the Providence Water Supply Board for tributary streams to the Scituate Reservoir, water year 2015
Water-quality data were collected by the Providence Water Supply Board (PWSB) from tributaries in the Scituate Reservoir drainage area, October 2014 through September 2015 (water year 2015). These data were used to calculate instantaneous loads and yields of constituents in a report by the U.S. Geological Survey. Water-quality samples were collected by the PWSB either monthly or...
Physical and Chemical Data to Characterize Water-Quality Conditions in the Sakonnet River, Rhode Island, 2018-2019 Physical and Chemical Data to Characterize Water-Quality Conditions in the Sakonnet River, Rhode Island, 2018-2019
Physical and chemical data were collected to characterize water-quality conditions in the Sakonnet River, a tidal strait located on the east side of Narragansett Bay in Rhode Island, from April 28 to November 11, 2018 and from June 19 to November 26, 2019.

Data and model archive used to model and map lithium concentrations in groundwater sources of drinking water in the conterminous United States Data and model archive used to model and map lithium concentrations in groundwater sources of drinking water in the conterminous United States
This data release contains data used to develop models and maps that estimate the occurrence of lithium in groundwater used as drinking water throughout the conterminous United States. An extreme gradient boosting model was developed to estimate the most probable lithium concentration category (≤4, >4 to ≤10, >10 to ≤30, or >30 µg/L). The model uses lithium concentration data from wells...
