Data

This data release presents a peak-flow frequency analysis by the U.S. Geological Survey that was based on methods described by Eash and others (2013) for streamgages 05458300 Cedar River at Waverly, Iowa; 05458500 Cedar River at Janesville, Iowa; and 06606600 Little Sioux River at Correctionville, Iowa. These methods are used to provide estimates of peak-flow quantiles for 50-, 20-, 10-...

This dataset includes information about valley segment and catchment summaries, valley characteristics, instream habitat, and fish for valley segments, sites, and transects along four river mainstems in Ontario, Canada. Moving west to east, the rivers include the Grand River which ends in Lake Erie at Port Maitland, the Ganaraska River which ends in Lake Ontario at Port Hope, the Trent...

This dataset contains vertical profiles of soil bulk density, percent organic matter, percent total carbon and cesium-137 activity from the surface down to 50-60 cm deep at 25 marsh locations across Breton Sound basin, Louisiana. These data will provide information related to rates of vertical accretion, organic and mineral accumulation and carbon burial in wetland soils across a large...

The watershed data management (WDM) database SC18.WDM is updated with the processed data for the period October 1, 2018, through September 30, 2019. The precipitation data are collected from a tipping-bucket rain-gage network and the hydrologic data (stage and discharge) are collected at USGS streamflow-gaging stations in and around DuPage County, Illinois. Hourly precipitation and...

This data release is the update of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) - ScienceBase data release Bera (2020b), with the processed data for the period October 1, 2018, through September 30, 2019. This data release describes the watershed data management (WDM) database file WBDR19.WDM. The WDM database file WBDR18.WDM (Bera, 2020b) is updated with the quality-assured and quality-controlled...

In August 2020, the U.S. Geologic Survey acquired high-precision survey data of first-floor doorway threshold elevations at buildings in the Lake Champlain floodplain in Vermont. For a representative sample of buildings within the 106 feet (National Geodetic Vertical Datum of 1929) stage boundary of the regional flood-inundation map (Flynn and Hayes, 2019), 153 buildings, or nearly 12...

Using previously published (Robinson and others, 2019) no-flow fractions and L-moments of nonzero streamflow from decadal streamflow flow-duration analysis (daily mean streamflow), probability distributions were fit to provide 27 estimated quantiles of decadal flow-duration curves, and hence the probability distributions are a form of parametric modeling that ensures monotonicity of the...

Field data for fishes sampled using mid-water trawls, otter trawls, and the SmeltCam during day and night in San Pablo Bay, CA. This data release includes all measured environmental parameters and fish taxa included in the analysis.

Data were collected in August, 2020 to support development of a bathymetric map for Larimore Dam in Grand Forks County, North Dakota. Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) surveying equipment was used in static and real-time kinematic (RTK) mode to establish a local reference mark and check-in/check-out point, to collect water surface elevations, and to collect topographic points...

This data release includes four sets of gridded annual net infiltration (groundwater recharge) and irrigation water use data sets for the Mississippi Embayment Regional Aquifer System (MERAS).Also included are gridded water balance component data sets of precipitation, runoff, actual evapotranspiration, and soil-water storage for 2000 to 2018. The net infiltration, irrigation, runoff...

Groundwater samples were collected from a South Florida Water Management District (SFWMD) monitoring well at the discharge point of the Kissimmee River into Lake Okeechobee between 2018 and 2019. The groundwater source was the Upper Floridan Aquifer at approximately 1,000 feet below land surface (fbls). Samples were dosed with nitrogen, phosphorus, and carbon, then sampled over a period...
