Model predictions for heterogeneous stream-reservoir graph networks with data assimilation Model predictions for heterogeneous stream-reservoir graph networks with data assimilation

This data release provides the predictions from stream temperature models described in Chen et al. 2021. Briefly, various deep learning and process-guided deep learning models were built to test improved performance of stream temperature predictions below reservoirs in the Delaware River Basin. The spatial extent of predictions was restricted to streams above the Delaware River at...

Data to support near-term forecasts of stream temperature using process-guided deep learning and data assimilation Data to support near-term forecasts of stream temperature using process-guided deep learning and data assimilation

This data release contains the forcings and outputs of 7-day ahead maximum water temperature forecasting models that made real-time predictions in the Delaware River Basin during 2021. The model is driven by weather forecasts and observed reservoir releases and produces maximum water temperature forecasts for the issue day (day 0) and 7 days into the future (days 1-7) at five sites. This...

Light model and GPP estimates for 173 U.S. rivers Light model and GPP estimates for 173 U.S. rivers

This data release contains products from Savoy & Harvey (2021) which modeled photosynthetically active radiation and gross primary productivity (GPP) for 173 streams and rivers across the continental United States. Estimates of photosynthetically active radiation (PAR) were generated using a model that considers the contribution of light attenuation from riparian zones as well as within...

Data for depth of groundwater used for drinking-water supplies in the United States (ver. 2.0, January 2026) Data for depth of groundwater used for drinking-water supplies in the United States (ver. 2.0, January 2026)

This data release includes grids representing the depth and thickness of drinking-water withdrawal zones, polygons of hydrogeologic settings, an inventory of sources of well construction data, and summaries of data comparisons used to assess the depth of groundwater used for drinking-water supplies in the United States. Well construction data sources are documented in Table1_DataSources...

Predictions of lake water temperatures for eight reservoirs in Missouri US, 1980-2021 Predictions of lake water temperatures for eight reservoirs in Missouri US, 1980-2021

Lake temperature is an important environmental metric for understanding habitat suitability for many freshwater species and is especially useful when temperatures are predicted throughout the water column (known as temperature profiles). This dataset provides estimates of water temperature at half meter depths for eight reservoirs in Missouri, USA using version 3 of the General Lake...

dataRetrieval dataRetrieval

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed an R package called dataRetrieval to help simplify the process of discovering and retrieving water quality sample data, streamflow, groundwater, and other data available from Federal hydrologic web services such as National Water Information Systems (NWIS), the EPA Water Quality Exchange (WQX) System, and the National Hydrologic Dataset via the...

Database of physically based distributed model applications for post-fire hydrologic response Database of physically based distributed model applications for post-fire hydrologic response

This data release contains a database reviewing the state of the science for physically based distributed hydrologic model applications for post-fire hydrologic response. The database covers the globe and spans from the years 1998 through the calendar year 2021. The database is part of a larger state of the science review of post-fire hydrologic modeling that examines the scales and...

Model Archive: Simulation of Sediment Transport, Middle Channel of St. Clair River Delta, Michigan Model Archive: Simulation of Sediment Transport, Middle Channel of St. Clair River Delta, Michigan

This archive contains results of flow and sediment transport simulations of a reach of the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River delta, Michigan using the iRIC modeling system and the Flow and Sediment Transport with Morphologic Evolution of Channels (FASTMECH) solver. Two hydraulic model simulations were used to determine lateral eddy viscosity and roughness settings. A third simulation...

This version of ModelMuse fixes a serious bug in ModelMuse version 5.1.

Hydrographic surveys and acoustic Doppler current profiler measurements collected to monitor fish spawning reef placements, Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, Michigan, September 13-16, 2021 and May 2-5, 2022 Hydrographic surveys and acoustic Doppler current profiler measurements collected to monitor fish spawning reef placements, Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, Michigan, September 13-16, 2021 and May 2-5, 2022

The U.S Geological Survey conducted hydrographic surveys from September 13-16, 2021 and May 2-5, 2022 to monitor fish spawning substrate placements (reefs) in the Detroit and St. Clair Rivers, Michigan. This work was conducted as part of a reimbursable agreement with the Environmental Protection Agency to provide technical assistance in areas of concern. A multibeam echosounder was used...

Grain-size distributions of bed material samples collected from the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River Delta, Michigan, November 10, 2021 Grain-size distributions of bed material samples collected from the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River Delta, Michigan, November 10, 2021

The U.S. Geological Survey used a ponar sampler to collect bed material from the Middle Channel of the St. Clair River Delta on November 10, 2021. Three sediment samples were collected upstream of the artificial spawning reefs constructed in the Middle Channel and two on the reefs themselves.The bed sediment samples were dried and sieved at 1/2 phi increments to determine their grain...
