New York Water Science Center
Data and Tools
Continuous and discrete surface-water, groundwater, and water-quality data are collected to provide long-term hydrologic records critical to investigating hydrology, modeling climate-change, evaluating natural and anthropogenic changes in the hydrologic regime, and providing information on water availability to water managers.
USGS StreamStats
StreamStats is a Web-based Geographic Information Systems (GIS) application that provides users with access to an assortment of analytical tools that are useful for a variety of water-resources planning and management purposes.

Geospatial bathymetry dataset for the Black River near Great Bend, New York, 2020
On August 25, 2020, the U.S. Geological Survey conducted a bathymetry survey of a 550 meter long reach of the Black River near Great Bend, New York. The study reach began approximately 1,000 meters upstream from the State Route 26 bridge in Great Bend, New York. Depth data were collected primarily with a 1,200 kilohertz Teledyne RD Instruments RioPro acoustic Doppler current profiler
Aquifer texture data describing the Long Island aquifer system
The data contained in this data release support USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2020-5023, "Distribution of selected hydrogeologic characteristics of the upper glacial and Magothy aquifers, Long Island, New York" (Walter and Finkelstein, 2020). This data release contains estimates of aquifer texture describing the Long Island aquifer system. These estimates in total can be
2019 Hydrologic Data Summary for the Central Pine Barrens Region, Suffolk County, New York
This U.S. Geological Survey data release provides surface-water quality, streamflow, and groundwater-elevation data collected within the Central Pine Barrens (CPB) Region of Suffolk County, New York. The data were collected in cooperation with the Central Pine Barrens Commission and the Town of Brookhaven as part of a five-year comprehensive water-resources monitoring program. Water qu
Organic and metal contaminants in fish tissue collected from the Buffalo River Area of Concern, 2017
Fish tissue from 159 samples collected at four locations in the Buffalo River Area of Concern in 2017 were analyzed for a wide range of analytes including Polychlorinated Biphenyls (PCBs), pesticides, polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, organochlorine and other persistent organic compounds, metals, lipid and moisture. Over 230 analytes were analyzed in the tissue samples, including
Time Domain Electromagnetic Surveys Collected to Estimate the Extent of Saltwater Intrusion in Nassau and Queens County, New York, October-November 2017
During October-November 2017 twelve time domain electromagnetic (TDEM) surveys were collected in Nassau and Queens County. The data were collected to estimate the extent of saltwater intrusion in support of the Long Island Groundwater Sustainability Project in cooperation with the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation. In the TDEM method, an electrical current is run thro...
Mercury Concentrations in River Otter Hair, Bad River Watershed, Wisconsin
File represents total mercury (THg) concentrations in hair of nine river otters from the Bad River. Neither the collection of river otter hair samples nor the Hg analyses were performed by the U.S. Geological Survey, New York Water Science Center
Mercury Concentrations in Green Frog Tissue, Bad River Watershed, Wisconsin, 2012-2013
These data represent Hg concentrations in tissue of 18 green frogs from the Bad River, Wisconsin. Neither the collection of green frogs nor the Hg analyses were performed by the U.S. Geological Survey, New York Water Science Center.
Mercury Concentrations in Wild Rice, Bad River Watershed, Wisconsin, 2006
Seven wild rice samples were collected in 2006 in or near to Bad River tribal lands and analyzed for methyl Hg. Neither the collection of wild rice samples nor the Hg analyses were performed by the U.S. Geological Survey, New York Water Science Center.
Mercury Concentrations in Surface Waters, Bad River Watershed, Wisconsin, 2006-2016
These data represent mercury (Hg), filtered total Hg (FTHg), filtered methylmercury (FMHg), particulate total Hg (PTHg), particulate methylmercury (PMHg), total mercury (THg), dissolved organic carbon (DOC) and total organic carbon (TOC) concentrations in surface water samples collected on Bad River Tribal lands. Several samples were collected at multip
Mercury Concentrations in Bed Sediment, Bad River Watershed, Wisconsin, 2006-2015
These data represent total mercury (Hg) concentrations and percent organic carbon in bed sediment from 51 samples collected at 44 location in streams and rivers during 2006 to 2015 within or near to Bad River Tribal lands. Reach lengths are provided when they were available, and the data set includes sieved, unsieved, and samples where sieving status was not indicated. Samples were coll
Mercury Concentrations in Bald Eagle Feathers, Bad River Watershed, Wisconsin, 2014-2016
The breast feathers of 13 bald eagles were collected at 11 locations during 2014 to 2016 along rivers and sloughs on or near to Bad River tribal lands and analyzed for total mercury (Hg) concentrations. An age (7 - 9 weeks) was indicated for only two of the eagle feather samples. The eagle feathers sampled were likely all from nestlings, but this could be confirmed for only two of the e
Mercury Data from the Bad River Watershed, Wisconsin, 2004-2018
