Data Releases
The data collected and the techniques used by USGS scientists should conform to or reference national and international standards and protocols if they exist and when they are relevant and appropriate. For datasets of a given type, and if national or international metadata standards exist, the data are indexed with metadata that facilitates access and integration.

Water use by source and category in Idaho counties, 2015 Water use by source and category in Idaho counties, 2015
Water Use by Source and Category in Idaho Counties are compiled as part of the "Estimated Use of Water in the United States" series of U.S. Geological Survey Circular reports that have been published every 5 years since 1950 (Maupin and others, 2014). Idaho withdrawals in 2015 are being published as a separate dataset in support of the U.S. Geological Survey fact sheet 2018-3036. Maupin...
Exploring the exceptional performance of a deep learning stream temperature model and the value of streamflow data Exploring the exceptional performance of a deep learning stream temperature model and the value of streamflow data
This data release provides all data and code used in Rahmani et al. (2020) to model stream temperature and assess results. Briefly, we used a subset of the USGS GAGES-II dataset as a test case for temperature prediction using deep learning methods. The associated manuscript explores the value of including stream discharge as a predictor in the temperature models, including the value of...
Plant trait and soil moisture data associated with ontogenetic trait shifts - seedlings display high trait variability during early stages of development Plant trait and soil moisture data associated with ontogenetic trait shifts - seedlings display high trait variability during early stages of development
These tabular data were compiled to document how key plant trait values change during plant development, particularly seedling stages, and in relation to soil moisture. An objective of our study was to answer three main research questions: (1) Do seedling trait values differ across early to late stages of seedling development and do those trajectories vary among plant species and...
Benthic macroinvertebrate tailwater data in the Colorado River Basin, 2013 & 2015 Benthic macroinvertebrate tailwater data in the Colorado River Basin, 2013 & 2015
These benthic macroinvertebrate data and associated site characteristics were compiled for the purpose of exploring any relationships between large dams in the Colorado River Basin, their flow management and geographical context, and their associated downstream benthic macroinvertebrate communities. The goal of the analyses based upon these data was to understand how dam conditions...
Water quality and discharge data from draining mine tunnels near Silverton, Colorado 1993-2015 Water quality and discharge data from draining mine tunnels near Silverton, Colorado 1993-2015
The American Tunnel, the Black Hawk mine, the Gold King mine, the Mogul mine, and the Red and Bonita mine are located in the Cement Creek watershed, tributary to the upper Animas River near Silverton, Colorado. All five sites have tunnels that drain groundwater from abandoned underground mine workings to the surface. This draining water has elevated concentrations of metals and degrades...
Meteorological Database, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, January 1, 1948 - September 30, 2020 Meteorological Database, Argonne National Laboratory, Illinois, January 1, 1948 - September 30, 2020
This data release is the update of the U.S. Geological Survey - ScienceBase data release by Bera (2020), with the processed data through September 30, 2020. The primary data for water year 2020 (a water year is the 12-month period, October 1 through September 30, in which it ends) is downloaded from the Argonne National Laboratory (ANL) (Argonne National Laboratory, 2020) and is...
