WaterAlert
The U.S. Geological Survey WaterAlert service sends e-mail or text (SMS) messages when certain parameters, as measured by a USGS real-time data-collection station, exceed user-definable thresholds. The development and maintenance of the WaterAlert system is supported by the USGS and its partners, including numerous federal, state, and local agencies.
Depth grids for stages 8.0 ft to 14.0 ft at the USGS streamgage Nimishillen Creek near North Industry, Ohio (03118500)
The depth grids show the depth of flooding on Nimishillen Creek near North Industry, Ohio, on local map backgrounds, based on stages of 8.0 ft to 14.0 ft at the USGS streamgage, Nimishillen Creek near North Industry, Ohio (03118500).
Model archive—Regional regression models for estimating flood-frequency characteristics of rural, unregulated Ohio streams
Suspended sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus loads for Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana, April 2015 to July 2018
This data release contains the calibration data set and R code used to create regression models for estimating daily loads of suspended sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus at the Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana streamgage (05524500). The USGS R software package, rloadest, was used to develop the regression models and estimate loads. The models were developed using d
Model archive—Regional regression models for estimating flood-frequency characteristics of rural, unregulated Ohio streams
Dataset is a model archive containing all relevant files to create regression models that are discussed in the report: Koltun, G.F., 2019, Flood-frequency estimates for Ohio streamgages based on data through water year 2015 and techniques for estimating flood-frequency characteristics of rural, unregulated Ohio streams: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2019–...
PeakFQ inputs and selected outputs for selected streamgages in Ohio and border areas of adjacent states (through water year 2015)
Contains inputs (PeakFQ psf file and peak-flow data) to the PeakFQ program for selected unregulated and regulated streamgages in Ohio and border areas of adjacent states. Zip archive also contains PeakFQ print files for each streamgage (listed by the eight-digit streamgage identification number).
Phytoplankton Taxonomic Data for Nolin Lake, Kentucky, 2016
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides phytoplankton data collected from Nolin Lake, Kentucky, during August 15-19, 2016. The digital dataset includes samples collected at six U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) sites on Nolin Lake. Phytoplankton were identified to the lowest possible taxonomic level and abundance (density) and biovolume are reported.
Water-Quality Datasets from Synoptic Surveys in Nolin Lake, Kentucky, using an Autonomous Underwater Vehicle, Discrete Sampling, and Depth Profiles, August 2016
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers—Louisville District conducted a pilot study on the use of an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) for a survey of water conditions during August 2016 in a portion of Nolin Lake, Kentucky. The AUV was equipped with sensors for the continuous collection of water-quality measurements for dissol
Data and rloadest models for suspended sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus for Kankakee River at Shelby, Indiana, January 5, 2016 to May 31, 2018
This data release contains data sets and R code used to create regression models for estimating daily flux of suspended sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus at the Kankakee River at Shelby, IN (05518000) streamgage. The models were developed using discrete water-quality data and concurrent daily streamflow data measured/determined at the streamgage for the period January 201
Microbial Source Tracking at Whihala Beach West in Whiting, Indiana, 2018
Groundwater and surface-water samples were collected and analyzed for microbial source tracking markers to identify the primary sources of fecal bacteria at a Lake Michigan beach in Northwestern Indiana.
Metagenomics analysis of groundwater, surface water, and sand samples at Jeorse Park in East Chicago, Indiana, 2017
This dataset provides results of a targeted bacterial community metagenomic analysis of surface water, groundwater, and sand samples at Jeorse Park on Lake Michigan in East Chicago, Indiana. Seventy-two samples were collected from 6 sites in 2017. Samples were analyzed for the 16S ribosomal RNA (16S rRNA) gene (the S in 16S refers to the rate of sedimentation, in Svedberg units, o
Potential Wetland Extent Along the Lower Wabash River Between USGS Gaging Stations 03342000 and 03377500
The Wetland Reserve Program (WRP) is a voluntary program administered by the NRCS. It provides technical and financial assistance to private landowners and Tribes to restore, protect, and enhance wetlands in exchange for retiring eligible land from agriculture. For a site to be a wetland eligible for restoration, it must be in a zone with sustained or frequent flooding for a period of 7
