Data and Tools
National Water Dashboard (NWD)
The National Water Dashboard (NWD) is a mobile, interactive tool that provides real-time information on water levels, weather, and flood forecasts - all in one place on a computer, smartphone, or other mobile device. The NWD presents real-time stream, lake and reservoir, precipitation, and groundwater data from more than 13,500 USGS observation stations across the country.
Associated data for the Triangle Area Water Supply Monitoring Project, North Carolina, October 2017 - September 2019
These datasets contain information used to compile the report (USGS OFR 2020-xxxx). It contains water-quality data, analytical results of field blanks, and analytical results for environmental and replicate sample sets for surface-water samples collected during water years 2018 and 2019 for the Triangle Area Water Supply Monitoring Program (TAWSMP).
Streamwater constituent load data, models, and estimates for 15 watersheds in DeKalb County, Georgia, 2012-2016
This data release contains eight datasets and metadata related to streamwater constituent load estimation and E. coli bacteria concentration predictions at 15 watersheds in DeKalb County, Georgia for 2012 to 2016 (the water-quality model calibration data goes through 9/22/2017 and the water-quality assurance samples goes through 11/7/2017).
Pesticide and Pharmaceutical Exposure Data for Select Streams within Great Smoky Mountains National Park, 2019
This dataset included the concentration results (in nanograms per liter) for 328 pharmaceutical and pesticide compounds analyzed within the Great Smoky Mountain National Park, Tennessee and North Carolina, in 2019. Two samples were collected (July and September) at 15 locations within the park, and one location at the park boundary.
Georgia Water Use
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) South Atlantic Water Science Center and the Environmental Protection Division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources have been collecting and compiling water-use information in Georgia since 1980 as part of an ongoing cooperative agreement.
Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration in North Carolina Catchments
Alterations to stream hydrology, which includes changes in stream geomorphology, are primary impacts of anthropogenic disruption. In North Carolina, hydrological alterations lead to environmental impacts through degraded ecosystems and water quality.
Target-Chemical Concentration Results of Mixed-Organic/Inorganic Chemical Exposures in Cape Cod, Massachusetts Tapwater, 2018
This dataset provides the water-quality results for organic and inorganic concentrations analyzed from samples collected at residential tapwater faucets, sourced from private drinking water wells in Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Samples were collected in July and August, 2018 from 20 locations.
Microbial Source Tracking Marker Concentrations in Congaree National Park in 2017-2019, South Carolina, USA
The dataset contains quantitative polymerase chain reaction data for microbial source tracking markers screened on water samples collected from streams and rivers within and bounding Congaree National Park from samples collected throughout the year from December 2017 through June 2019. The number of samples collected per event ranged from 4-16 over the span of 11 sample events.
Single-beam bathymetric survey of the French Broad River near the Interstate-26 bridge located South of Asheville, NC – June 2019, Pre-construction
The North Carolina Department of Transportation (NCDOT) began work on a highway widening project on Interstate-26 (I-26) in January 2020. The French Broad River flows adjacent to and under I-26 in the project area, located in Buncombe County of North Carolina.
Groundwater Well Yield in Wake County, North Carolina
The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with Wake County Environmental Services, initiated a comprehensive groundwater resource investigation to better understand the quantity and quality of groundwater in Wake County, North Carolina.
Land Cover Basin Characteristics Rasters for South Carolina StreamStats 2021
In cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the U.S. Geological Survey calculated four land cover basin characteristics rasters as part of preparing the South Carolina StreamStats 2021 application.
Basin Characteristic Layers for the Upper Colorado & Gunnison Rivers Pilot Project for StreamStats 2020
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) calculated multiple basin characteristics as part of preparing the Upper Colorado & Gunnison Rivers Pilot StreamStats application.
