Data and model code in support of machine learning nitrate modeling study

We developed a suite of models using deep learning to make hindcast predictions of the 7-day average backward-looking nitrate concentration at 46 predominantly agricultural sites across the midwestern and eastern United States. The models used daily observations of discharge and meteorological variables and static watershed attributes describing anthropogenic modification to hydrology...

Water-borne electromagnetic induction, handheld thermal infrared and sediment temperature, chemical, and pressure data collected at Hen Cove, Pocasset, Massachusetts, 2022

Groundwater discharge points to coastal waters can be identified and quantified using natural electrical and temperature data. In August 2022, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected water-borne electromagnetic induction and temperature along selected transects within Hen Cove on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, following a spatial survey of bed sediment temperature. Handheld thermal infrared...

Hawai'i National Hydrologic Model (NHM) application,1980–2021

This data release contains inputs for and outputs from hydrologic simulations for the Hawai‘i (HI) domain using the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) version 5.2.1.1 for the precalibration, by Hydrologic Response Unit (byHRU) release, and by Point Of Interest Observation (byPOIobs) release using the USGS National Hydrologic Model infrastructure (NHM; Regan and others, 2018)...

Tables and figures for the unrecognized role of uranium transport in the Devils Hole, Nevada climate record

For more than a half million years, dense vein calcite has been precipitating in Devils Hole, located about 115 km northwest of Las Vegas, Nevada. This process also occurs in Devils Hole Cave 2, which is hydrologically connected and situated about 200 meters north of the original Devils Hole cave. Calcite has been precipitating in this natural laboratory in oxygen isotopic equilibrium at...

MODFLOW 6 models used to evaluate the accuracy of enhanced cell connectivity for simulation of flow through dipping aquifers

This data release contains the MODFLOW 6 models described in the related Groundwater journal article (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13459). The models are generalized cross-section models of a hypothetical and idealized aquifer. The models are used to examine the effects of layered or full grid connectivity with and without the XT3D option in the Node Property Flow (NPF) package of...

Streambank vertical temperature profile data collected along tributaries to Farmington River, CT, USA in 2021

Groundwater is often supersaturated in greenhouse gases (GHGs; i.e. CO2, CH4, N2O) and delivers these gasses to stream channels where they are either emitted, consumed, or transported downstream. However, areas of relatively spatially-focused (‘preferential’) groundwater discharge may also be located above the waterline and be immediate sources of GHGs to the atmosphere before moving...

Monthly ensemble outputs from the National Hydrologic Model Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System and the Weather Research and Forecasting model hydrologic modeling system for the conterminous United States, Alaska, Hawaii, and Puerto Rico for water years

The Integrated Water Availability Assessment uses an ensemble of outputs from two hydrologic models to assess water supply conditions. Results from the two models, the National Hydrologic Model Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) and Weather Research and Forecasting model hydrologic modeling system (WRF-Hydro) were averaged to create a single model ensemble. A unique instance...

Exposure to surface water supply and use imbalance during spawning months for 214 fish taxa across the conterminous United States

This data release contains the output from an ecological analysis modeling the exposure of 214 fish taxa across the conterminous US (CONUS) to an index of surface water supply and use imbalances (SUI), a metric of monthly gross average water supply available after accounting for climate variation and consumptive use, during their spawning months, hereafter referred to as spawning...

Biogeochemical Data from Field Samples and Laboratory Experiments, Boulder Creek Watershed, Colorado (2019-2023)

Biogeochemical processes are key drivers of chemical solubility and mobilization. Understanding these processes will lead to improved predictive capabilities and may aid with watershed management decisions. This data release presents results from the Boulder Creek, Colorado watershed, including analyses of water and sediment. From April to August 2019, water samples were collected weekly...

Inorganic and organic chemical composition of groundwater collected from monitoring wells located at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site, Bemidji, Minnesota, USA 2009-2023

This dataset contains information from groundwater monitoring wells at the National Crude Oil Spill Fate and Natural Attenuation Research Site near Bemidji, Minnesota, USA. The information includes field and laboratory methods, site locations, and inorganic and organic chemistry data. Samples were collected between 2009 and 2023, and analyzed for inorganic anions: F (fluoride), Cl...

Atmospheric fallout radionuclide data for soil cores from four uranium mine sites, Mohave County, Arizona, November 2018

The data represent sediment depth profiles of gamma-emitting radionuclides cesium-137 (Cs-137), lead-210 (Pb-210), lead-214 (Pb-214), and bismuth-214 (Bi-214) in native soil locations around four mineralized sites in Mohave County, Arizona. The four sites represent breccia pipe uranium deposits in the Grand Canyon Region in various lifecycle stages of mining: EZ2 complex (exploration)...

Monthly twelve-digit hydrologic unit code aggregations of the National Hydrologic Model Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System modeling application for Alaska, 1980-2021

This data release contains 15 variables from the National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure with the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) modeling application forced with Daymet version 4 (Koczot and others, 2025) from 1980 through 2021 that are summarized to a monthly time step and a twelve-digit hydrologic unit code for the spatial extent of Alaska.The following flux and...
