Analysis of monthly water supply for the United States for water years 2010-2020 using modeled states and fluxes
This pipeline analyzes estimates of streamflow, evapotranspiration, soil moisture, and snow water equivalent among other hydrologic states and fluxes from two national hydrologic models: the National Hydrologic Model application of the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) and the Weather Research and Forecasting hydrologic modeling system (WRF-Hydro). Both of these models are...
Visualizations of water quality across the conterminous United States using SPARROW 2012 simulated nutrient load estimates
This pipeline uses the data from the 2012 regional Sparrow models (see **Input datasets** below) to produce four types of outputs: 1. Maps of SPARROW-estimated total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and total suspended-sediment yields and concentrations across the conterminous United States (CONUS); 2. Bar plots showing the amount of total nitrogen, total phosphorus, and suspended sediment...
Evaluating high, moderate, and low concentrations of groundwater constituents across principal aquifer locations in the conterminous United States
This software release contains code to process and create pie and bar charts that display high, moderate, and low concentrations of groundwater constituents across principal aquifer locations in the conterminous United States for the National Integrated Water Availability Assessment (IWAAs) Water Quality Chapter. Data are processed from Lindsey et al., 2022 and Belitz et al., 2022. Water...
Water budget estimation for a water availability assessment across the conterminous United States for water years 2010–2020
This pipeline calculates a simple monthly water budget that includes water supply and consumptive use for thermoelectric, irrigation, and public supply for 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUC12) across the conterminous United States for water years 2010-2020. Water budget results also include an assessment of supply and use imbalances within the context of historical climatic conditions...
Formatting and rescaling water use data for the IWAAs National Report
This software release contains code to create the fractional intersectional weights used to crosswalk data from the National Water Use Program to the National Integrated Water Availability Assessment (IWAAs) projects. The Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) contains polygons that define the spatial boundaries of hydrologic units. These are periodically updated as these boundary definitions...
