Data

Hydrologic data collection, processing, analysis, dissemination, and archiving are major parts of the New Jersey Water Science Center program. Streamflow data, for example, are used for flood and water-supply forecasts, planning and design, river regulation, streamflow statistics, and research investigations. Much of the data are available on a near-real-time basis by satellite telemetry.

Benthic pore water and sediment data Barnegat Bay, New Jersey, 2012-2013

This data set presents pore water nutrient concentrations and sediment oxygen demand (SOD) measurements made at 12 locations around the margin of Barnegat Bay and at 3 locations in central Barnegat Bay. The data were collected during 2012-2013 for the Barnegat Bay Nutrient Study in cooperation with the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. Table 1 presents the site data including site

USGS Flood Event Viewer - Network

The USGS operates an event-based mobile storm-surge sensor network to capture information about coastal and inland storm tides.

Lake & Reservoir Data

Real-time, daily, and statistics of current and historical data that describe reservoir and lake levels. Reservoir data are collected and stored as either discrete field-water-level measurements or as continuous time-series data from automated recorders.

Annual Water Data Reports

Annual Water Data Reports were published annually for many decades as static archival products that supplemented direct access to current and historical water data provided by the National Water Information System (NWIS). This site helps users access historical Water Data Reports, electronic Site Data Sheets, or current on-demand, print-ready Water-Year Summaries.

StreamStats for New Jersey

The USGS StreamStats website is a GIS-based web tool for estimating streamflows at gaged and ungaged locations. Features similar to the National Streamflow Statistics program are presented to users with no programs to install. Users can visit the StreamStats website linked here and click on a stream location on the interactive map to compute estimated streamflows for floods and other statistics.

Estimated Use of Water by Subbasin (HUC8 and HUC12) in the Delaware River Basin, 2010

These datasets present offstream water use estimates from 2010 which are aggregated to the 8-digit and 12-digit (subwatershed) hydrologic unit level for the Delaware River Basin. The data support USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2015-5142.

New Jersey Weather Monitoring Network

The NJTTS supplies real-time meteorological data for 120 days for flood-prone areas along the New Jersey shore and back bays to critical decision-making centers and the publically-available world wide web.

New Jersey Tide Telemetry System

The NJTTS supplies real-time tide-level data for flood-prone areas along the New Jersey shore and back bays to critical decision-making centers and the publically-available world wide web.

Groundwater levels, soil moisture, precipitation, and slope movement in the coastal bluffs of the Atlantic Highlands, New Jersey, 2015-2016

Seasonal variations in vegetation, rainfall, and soil moisture conditions have the potential to impact the slope stability of locally forested coastal bluffs in the Atlantic Highlands of New Jersey. Both the seasonality and rainfall amounts of the two types of storms that induce shallow landslides in the area vary considerably. Most of the documented historical landslides are the result of heavy r

Flood-inundation maps for the Peckman River in the Townships of Verona, Cedar Grove, and Little Falls, and the Borough of Woodland Park, New Jersey, 2014

Digital flood-inundation maps for an approximate 7.5-mile reach of the Peckman River in New Jersey, which extends from Verona Lake Dam in the Township of Verona downstream through the Township of Cedar Grove and the Township of Little Falls to the confluence with the Passaic River in the Borough of Woodland Park, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the New Jersey
