Data

This dataset includes files associated with a 21-day nutrient diffusing substrate experiment run in Pear Lake of Sequoia National Park, California in summer 2022. The experiment was designed to evaluate the effects of different treatment levels of a macronutrient (nitrogen) and a micronutrient (copper) on periphyton growth and community structure in an alpine lake. While the effects of...

Water-surface elevations were recorded by 12 submerged pressure transducers deployed from fall 2017 to summer 2018 along an approximately 25-km reach of the Siletz River, Oregon. All pressure transducers were deployed in the main channel of the Siletz River. The water-surface elevations were surveyed by using a real-time kinematic global positioning system (RTK-GPS) at each pressure...

This data release contains water temperature and specific conductance data from Lake Koocanusa at the international boundary (USGS site number 12300110) from November 2024 to April 2025. Data were collected every 30 minutes at depths of 3 meters (m) and 10 m below the water surface. These data were collected as part of a water-quality monitoring program in Lake Koocanusa to provide data...

The data set contains measurement locations and measurements of daily and sub-daily water temperature, daily river discharge, and daily air temperature for several sites in the Upper Missouri River basin of Montana and North Dakota, 2001-2022. Water temperature sites include: the Missouri River upstream from Fort Peck Reservoir, Montana; multiple locations through a 351-km reach...

This data release contains lake and reservoir water surface temperature summary statistics calculated from Landsat 8 Analysis Ready Dataset (ARD) images available within the Conterminous United States (CONUS) from 2013-2023. All zip files within this data release contain nested directories using .parquet files to store the data. The file example_script_for_using_parquet.R contains...

These data were collected as part of a larger project to support Total Maximum Daily Load (TMDL) modeling in the Big Soos Creek basin. Water temperature, air temperature and sensor depth were collected from four sites in the Big Soos Creek basin; LITTLE SOOS CREEK BELOW LAKE YOUNGS NEAR KENT, WA (USGS site ID 12109400), JENKINS CREEK AT 188TH AVE SE NEAR KENT, WA (USGS site ID 12110300)...

These data were collected as part of the Stormwater Action Monitoring (SAM) program's Puget Small Streams (PSS) status and trends program. The data presented here were collected from 29 sites during water year 2020 for water temperature, air temperature, and sensor depth. Sensor depth was used as a surrogate for water depth and represents the arbitrary depth of water above the sensor...

This data release contains vector shapefiles of gridded, monthly water use estimates for the United States part of the Salish Sea basin in northwestern Washington for the year 2017. The water use estimates are provided by category of use for public supply, domestic self-supply, agriculture, and aquaculture each and are further distinguished by surface water or groundwater sources. Data...

Information concerning the availability, use, and quality of water in the 64 parishes of Louisiana is critical for water-supply management. In cooperation with the Louisiana Department of Transportation and Development, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Lower Mississippi-Gulf (LMG) Water Science Center (WSC) has been collecting, compiling, and publishing water-withdrawal and water-use...

This data release is composed of several datasets that contain water, sediment, and rock chemistry results from samples collected within and near the Florida River watershed in southern Colorado. Samples were collected during three sampling events in April 2022, May 2022, and August–September 2022. The data will aid investigators in understanding the sources and seasonality of aluminum...

Groundwater discharge points to coastal waters can be identified and quantified using natural electrical and temperature data. In August 2022, U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) collected water-borne electromagnetic induction and temperature along selected transects within Hen Cove on Cape Cod, Massachusetts, following a spatial survey of bed sediment temperature. Handheld thermal infrared...

Malheur Lake in southeastern Oregon is a shallow, freshwater lake that provides valuable habitat for birds along the Pacific Flyway. The lake was in a turbid state for multiple decades, and past studies documented high suspended-sediment concentrations, high nutrient concentrations, and low light infiltration through the water column. Experimental restoration trials were conducted in...
