Cyanotoxin Concentrations in Extracts from Solid Phase Adsorption Toxin Tracking (SPATT) and Diffusive Gradients in Thin-Films (DGT) Samplers in Owasco Lake, Seneca Lake, and Skaneateles Lake, Finger Lakes Region, New York, 2019
This data release contains dissolved cyanotoxin concentrations for microcystins (MC), cylindrospermopsins (CYL), anatoxins (ATX), and saxitoxins (STX) assessed using enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays (ELISA) and liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry or tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS and LC-MS/MS, respectively) in extracts from SPATT (n=95) and DGT samplers (n=10) deployed on three Finger Lakes
Evaluating Seawater Intrusion Forecast Uncertainty under Climate Change in Pajaro Valley, California: Model Archive
Climate change and climate variability impacts such as rising sea levels have the potential to exacerbate seawater intrusion and the strain on coastal freshwater resources in already stressed groundwater basins such as those in the Pajaro Valley groundwater basin, California. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) developed the Pajaro Valley Hydrologic model (PVHM) to quantitatively assess aquifer-syst
Illinois River basin seasonally dynamic total nitrogen and phosphorus SPARROW model inputs and outputs, 2000 through 2020
This data release contains seasonal source-specific estimates of total nitrogen (TN) and total phosphorus (TP) loading to streams across the Illinois River basin (25,620 reaches) for 21 years from 2000 through 2020 using a dynamic SPARROW (Spatially Referenced Regressions on Watershed attributes) model. Input data including calibration loads, output predictions, model control files, and model sour
MODFLOW-6 model of variable-density groundwater flow and brine discharge to the Dolores River in the Paradox Valley, Colorado
MODFLOW-6 with the Groundwater Flow (GWF) and Groundwater Transport (GWT) models was used to simulate the geohydrology of the aquifer system of the Paradox Valley in western Colorado. Salinity of the Colorado River is a major concern in both the United States and the Republic of Mexico. The Colorado River and its tributaries supply water for about 40 million people and irrigation of about 5.5 mill
Microbial Communities Across a Successional Gradient at Indiana Dunes National Park, 2015-2017
This soil and vegetation data were collected along a successional gradient at the Indiana Dunes National Park. Soil samples were processed for standard soil chemistry, texture, and nutrients. DNA extracted from soil samples were analyzed for bacterial communities using 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing technique to understand the composition and distribution of these communities along the successional
Hexane extractable material in water-based and oil-based drilling fluid wastes collected from sites in Oklahoma, North Dakota, and Wyoming in 2021
Wells drilled during oil and gas exploration use drilling fluids to cool and lubricate the drilling bit and clear the borehole of cuttings. These fluids are recycled during the drilling process, but eventually can no longer be used. This is an important waste stream from petroleum generation that requires disposal. Chemical characterization of these materials is important to determine if these was
Data and R Code to Derive Estimates of Groundwater Levels Using MOVE.1 Regression and Compute Monthly Percentiles for Select Wells in Massachusetts
This data release contains extended estimates of daily groundwater levels and monthly percentiles at 27 short-term monitoring wells in Massachusetts. The Maintenance of Variance Extension Type 1 (MOVE.1) regression method was used to extend short-term groundwater levels at wells with less than 10 years of continuous data. This method uses groundwater level data from a correlated long-term monitori
Conceptual headwater stream daily heat budget scenarios under varied shading and groundwater influence
The Neversink River watershed (above the Neversink Reservoir) in the Catskill Mountains of New York, USA has been a focus of U.S. Geological Survey research for decades regarding stream geochemistry, acidification, and ecology dynamics. In 2019, the Water Mission Area Next Generation Water Observing Systems Program (NGWOS) augmented the existing stream gage network to include multiscale instrument
Predicted Physical Habitat Metrics for the Chesapeake Bay watershed at the 1:100k scale, 2001-2019
Degraded physical habitat is a common stressor affecting river ecosystems and a primary focus of management activities, including stream restorations. In order to assess regional conditions and help prioritize management efforts, there is an ongoing need to provide estimates of different aspects of instream physical habitat conditions at spatially continuous scales.

MODFLOW-NWT model used for the simulation of groundwater flow and analysis of groundwater availability in the Boone and Roubidoux aquifers in northeastern Oklahoma, 1980-2017
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Oklahoma Water Resources Board (OWRB), constructed a finite-difference numerical groundwater-flow model of the Boone and Roubidoux aquifers in northeastern Oklahoma by using MODFLOW-NWT (version 1.1.4) with the Newton formulation solver to simulate groundwater flow and account for the drying and rewetting of cells within the groundwater-fl
