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

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. We utilized over 16...

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...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Department of Agriculture Natural Resources Conservation Service (USDA NRCS) has collected discrete stream samples for analysis of suspended-sediment, total nitrogen, and total phosphorus at the real-time streamflow and water-quality monitoring (turbidity and nitrate) station 01575900, Chiques Creek Near Marietta...

This model archive summary (MAS) and associated model calibration data describes a surrogate model used to compute point location suspended sediment concentrations at USGS streamgage 11510700 for water years 2019-2023. The methods used follow USGS guidance as referenced in Office of Surface Water (OSW)/Office of Water Quality (OWQ) technical memoranda 2016.07 and USGS techniques and...

This dataset contains river stage (in meters and feet), water surface elevation (WSE), and temperature data collected at 3 focal areas of research included in the Sustainable Rivers Program (SRP) in the Allegheny River that were collected and processed in collaboration with US Army Corps of Engineers (USACE). This dataset is a combination of data collected by Hobo* U20L water level data...

A reach of the Sacramento River near Glenn, California, was selected as a field site to test a sensor payload developed by the U.S. Geological Survey and the National Aeronautics and Space Administration for estimating surface flow velocities in rivers. The payload, called the River Observing System (RiOS), can be deployed from an uncrewed aircraft system (UAS). RiOS includes visible and...

Estimated seasonal total nitrogen and total phosphorus loads during 1999 through 2020 in selected streams of the conterminous United States and water-quality and stream flow data used to generate those estimates are presented in this dataset. Loads were generated as part of the Integrated Water-Availability Assessment (IWAA) Program of the U.S. Geological Survey (www.usgs.gov/mission...

U-Pb isotopic data from zircon grains from the sediment bedload of seven modern rivers: the Susquehanna, Potomac, Roanoke, James, Peedee, Tar, and Cape Fear, as well as from three samples taken from beaches in Albemarle and Pamlico Sounds (North Carolina), two Pleistocene core samples, and three samples on the ocean-facing foreshore of the Outer Banks barrier islands (North Carolina and...

This model archive contains the input data, model code, and model outputs for machine learning models that predict daily non-tidal stream salinity (specific conductance) for a network of 459 modeled stream segments across the Delaware River Basin (DRB) from 1984-09-30 to 2021-12-31. There are a total of twelve models from combinations of two machine learning models (Random Forest and...

Acid mine drainage (AMD) can cause ecological harm throughout the state of Colorado, including in the Upper Animas River watershed near Silverton. In the Upper Animas River watershed, a technique that includes the emplacement of hydraulic bulkheads within draining mines has been used to remediate AMD. Data for major ions and trace metal concentrations, isotopic compositions, and...

Wildlife managers translocate greater sage-grouse (Centrocercus urophasianus; sage-grouse) to augment small populations, but translocated sage-grouse often fail to reproduce post-release, sometimes hampering conservation objectives. We performed two distinct sage-grouse translocation projects in California and North Dakota from 2017-2020 and employed two translocation methods at both...
