Due to a lapse in appropriations, the majority of USGS websites may not be up to date and may not reflect current conditions. Websites displaying real-time data, such as Earthquake and Water and information needed for public health and safety will be updated with limited support. Additionally, USGS will not be able to respond to inquiries until appropriations are enacted. For more information, please see www.doi.gov/shutdown

PHREEQC program used to calculate mineral-saturation indices from groundwater quality data collected at a confined disposal facility in East Chicago, Indiana
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), conducted a study from June 2014 through November 2014 to identify the hydrologic, chemical and microbiologic processes affecting declining pump performance and frequent pump failure at a confined disposal facility (CDF) in East Chicago, Indiana. A decline in groundwater pump performance through...
Shapefiles of the flood-inundation maps for Cedar Creek at 18th Street at Auburn, Indiana
Digital flood-inundation maps for a 1.9-mile reach of Cedar Creek at 18th Street at Auburn, Indiana, from the First Street Bridge, downstream to the streamgage at 18th Street, then ending approximately 1100 ft downstream of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad bridge, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Transportation. The flood-inundation...
Geospatial output data from the RVR Meander model of the Wabash River near the Interstate 64 Bridge near Grayville, Illinois
Natural river channels continually evolve and change shape over time. As a result, channel evolution or migration can cause problems for bridge structures that are fixed in the flood plain. A once-stable bridge structure that was uninfluenced by a river’s shape could be encroached upon by a migrating river channel. The potential effect of the actively meandering Wabash River on the...
Geospatial datasets and model for the flood-inundation study of the North Fork Kentucky River at Hazard, Kentucky
Digital flood-inundation maps were created for a 7.1-mile reach of the North Fork Kentucky River at Hazard, Kentucky. The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Flood Inundation Mapping Science website at https://water.usgs.gov/osw/flood_inundation/, depict estimates of the areal extent...

X-ray diffraction trace analysis of solid phase samples collected from groundwater wells at a confined disposal facility in East Chicago, Indiana
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), conducted a study from June 2014 through November 2014 to identify the hydrologic, chemical and microbiologic processes affecting declining pump performance and frequent pump failure at a confined disposal facility (CDF) in East Chicago, Indiana. A decline in groundwater pump performance through...
Depth grids of the flood-inundation maps for the Patoka River in and near Jasper, southwestern Indiana
Digital flood-inundation maps for a 9.5-mile reach of the Patoka River in and near the city of Jasper, southwestern Indiana, from the streamgage near County Road North 175 East, downstream to State Road 162, were created by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Transportation. The flood-inundation maps, which can be accessed through the USGS Flood...
Geospatial Data and Surface-Water Model Archive for a Flood-Inundation Mapping Study of the Wabash River at Lafayette, Indiana.
The development and the generation of the dataset that is published through this data release, is based on the results and findings of the report mentioned here: Kim, M.H., 2018, Flood-inundation maps for the Wabash River at Lafayette, Indiana: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2018–5017, 10 p., https://doi.org/10....
Calculated back trajectory coordinates for air masses contributing to five selected precipitation-mercury deposition episodes at a National Atmospheric Deposition Program monitoring site in southeastern Indiana during 2009 to 2015
This data release contains tabular digital data describing calculated hourly back trajectory position coordinates for air masses contributing to five selected precipitation-mercury deposition episodes at National Atmospheric Deposition Program monitoring site IN21 (National Atmospheric Deposition Program, 2017) in southeastern Indiana during 2009‒2015. The air pollution transport and...
Model Archive of Cedar Creek at Auburn, IN, surface-water flow model
Dataset is a model archive containing all relevant files to document and re-run the models that are discussed in the report: Fowler, K.K., 2018, Flood-Inundation Maps for Cedar Creek at 18th Street at Auburn, Indiana: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2017-5156.
Bathymetry of Bourbon Lake and Williams Lake near Loretto, Kentucky, April 9–10, 2018
These data are bathymetry (lake bottom elevation) in XYZ format, generated from the April 9–10, 2018, survey of Bourbon Lake and Williams Lake near Loretto, Kentucky. Bathymetric and topographic data were collected using an autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) and a real-time kinematic global positioning system (GPS). Data were collected as the AUV traversed the lake along planned...
Low-altitude multispectral and thermal-infrared imagery from agricultural fields, Black Creek basin, Allen County, IN - spring 2017
These point clouds were derived from low-altitude (approximately 92-m above ground surface) images collected from unmannned aerial system (UAS) flights over an edge-of-field, paired sampling site that is part of U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Great Lakes Restoration Initiative (GLRI) monitoring. The objective of this UAS photogrammetry data collection was to provide information on the tile-...
