This data release includes information on data from 72 streamflow or surface-water presence datasets in the Conterminous United States. It includes location, dataset, parent dataset or publication, site identification (if available), start year, end year, number of years, number of days, frequency of data collection, Strahler stream order, and headwater status.

Drivers, characteristics, and impacts of streamflow drought across the Delaware River Basin Drivers, characteristics, and impacts of streamflow drought across the Delaware River Basin

This data release contains supporting input data tables and results from analysis to identify and interpret clusters of drought events with similar meteorological and hydrological characteristics in the Delaware River Basin. Input data consists of hydrologic variables from the National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure with Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System, version 1.1 (NHM-PRMS v1.1)

Mainstem Rivers of the Conterminous United States (ver. 3.1, October 2026) Mainstem Rivers of the Conterminous United States (ver. 3.1, October 2026)

Mainstem rivers serve as the backbone of a connected network of hydrologic units that cover the landscape. A mainstem connects a headwater source area to an outlet. The series of data releases, Mainstem Rivers of the Conterminous United States, referred to as "Mainstems", identifies the same mainstem paths across spatial scales in hydrographic datasets for the United States. This data...

Monotonic Trends in Modelled Water Supply for Select Outputs from NHM-PRMS models for Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands Monotonic Trends in Modelled Water Supply for Select Outputs from NHM-PRMS models for Hawaii, Puerto Rico, and the US Virgin Islands

This dataset contains the Mann-Kendall p value, Theil - Sen slope estimate, summary statistics for eleven modelled water budget components simulated by the National Hydrologic Model Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) (Markstrom and others, 2024). The trend analyses are created from aggregated outputs from three separate models, each of which was forced with Daymet Version 4...

Integrated streamflow, water presence, and meteorological drivers for stream network modeling in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest Integrated streamflow, water presence, and meteorological drivers for stream network modeling in the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest

This data release provides integrated datasets for modeling streamflow and water presence across the HJ Andrews Experimental Forest stream network in western Oregon. The data include daily meteorological drivers from GRIDMET (precipitation, temperature, humidity, radiation, wind speed, evapotranspiration, vapor pressure deficit), observations of stream discharge and wet/dry status from...

Unsaturated zone monitoring data from a reclaimed uranium mine site, Grand Canyon, USA, 2022-2025 Unsaturated zone monitoring data from a reclaimed uranium mine site, Grand Canyon, USA, 2022-2025

These data are from the reclaimed uranium mine site Kanab North near Grand Canyon National Park in Arizona. We collected data and soil samples within a highly disturbed mine reclamation area and a nearby undisturbed area for comparison. The data set includes measurements of field saturated hydraulic conductivity (Kfs), particle size distributions, lab-measured soil-water content and bulk...

Reproductive biomarker responses in male fathead minnow exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances contaminated groundwater at a fire-training area, Cape Cod, Massachusetts from 2019 and 2021 Reproductive biomarker responses in male fathead minnow exposed to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances contaminated groundwater at a fire-training area, Cape Cod, Massachusetts from 2019 and 2021

This data release presents chemical and biological results from an investigation of the fish uptake and effects from exposure to per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) from groundwater contaminated by fire training activities on Cape Cod, Massachusetts. Twenty-one day exposure experiments were conducted from July to August 2019 and from August to September 2021 using groundwater from...

Monotonic Trends in Modelled Water Supply for Select Outputs from NHM-PRMS, WRF-Hydro, and CONUS404-BA, 1983-2021 and 2000-2020 Monotonic Trends in Modelled Water Supply for Select Outputs from NHM-PRMS, WRF-Hydro, and CONUS404-BA, 1983-2021 and 2000-2020

This dataset contains the Mann-Kendall p value, Theil - Sen slope estimate, summary statistics for eleven modelled water budget components simulated by the following modeling applications: the National Hydrologic Model Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (NHM-PRMS) version 1.1 (Markstrom and others, 2024), the Weather Research and Forecasting hydrological modeling application (WRF-Hydro

Passive and Active Seismic Data Collected Near Beaver Pond Locations in Storrs, CT; Willington, CT; and Gunnison County, CO in 2025 Passive and Active Seismic Data Collected Near Beaver Pond Locations in Storrs, CT; Willington, CT; and Gunnison County, CO in 2025

This data release documents seismic data collected immediately adjacent to beaver ponds and in their surrounding floodplain environments using active and passive seismic measurements at three sites. These sites are located in the University of Connecticut (UConn) Forest in Storrs, Connecticut; Fenton-Ruby Park in Willington, Connecticut; and in Gunnison County, Colorado. Horizontal-to...
