This data release contains a dataset of geospatial and tabular data used in support of a flood-frequency study of urban streams in Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. The dataset includes data used in the development of generalized least-squares (GLS) regression equations for predicting streamflows at ungaged locations in the study area corresp

In support of a groundwater-flow model of the Virginia Eastern Shore, altitudes were determined for the tops of hydrogeologic surfaces, including incised paleochannel surfaces, that compose the framework within the model area. Rasters were generated from the altitude data for the tops of the surficial aquifer, upper confining unit, upper aquifer, middle confining unit, middle aquifer, lower confin

This dataset contains results of generalized least-squares (GLS) regression for 136 streamflow gaging stations (streamgages) operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) on urban streams in Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. GLS regression was used to relate drainage area, percentages of the drainage basins of the streamgages in developed lan

This dataset contains site information and results of flood-frequency analysis for 139 urban streamflow gaging stations (streamgages) operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Tennessee and parts of Alabama, Georgia, Mississippi, North Carolina, and South Carolina. Developed imperviousness in the basins, based on the 2011 National Land Cover Database, was at least 10 percent (Homer and othe

This data release provides 64 forecasted water budget simulations for the Mississippi Embayment Regional Aquifer System (MERAS) during the period 2019 to 2055. Gridded daily data (1-kilometer resolution) include net infiltration (potential groundwater recharge), rejected net infiltration, interception, runoff, runoff outside (runoff that cannot be routed downslope), irrigation, actual evapotranspi

This USGS data release includes a shapefile of outlet point locations for 12-digit hydrologic units (HU12s) from the Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD), dated August 13, 2020 (U.S. Geological Survey and others, 2020), draining to the Gulf of Mexico in the south-central and southeastern United States. The outlet locations were derived by combining the WBD boundaries with flow direction grids from the

This model archive makes available the calibrated Soil-Water-Balance (SWB) model used to simulate potential recharge for the Mississippi Alluvial Aquifer for 1915 to 2018. The model was calibrated using monthly values of evapotranspiration and annual values of runoff and recharge for 19 drainage basins selected from within or nearby the Mississippi Alluvial Aquifer system. The calibrated SWB model

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, actual evapo

As part of a study to analyze the effects of sea-level rise on groundwater resources of Colonial National Historical Park, a monitoring network was established on Historic Jamestown Island, Virginia, to evaluate current levels of and changes in groundwater elevation and water quality. The monitoring network includes 45 wells and piezometers, 3 marsh sites, and 2 surface-water sites distributed acr

As part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Availability and Use Science Program study of the Mississippi Alluvial Plain (MAP), a shapefile representing seven generalized regions of the MAP extent as defined by Painter and Westerman (2018) was compiled. The generalized regions provide a framework for analysis, visualization, and regional comparisons of local data within the MAP. Regions nor

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the West Virginia Water Gaging Council have proposed an expansion to the existing West Virginia streamgage network. As of December 18, 2018, the USGS operates a network of 149 real-time streamgages in West Virginia. This geospatial dataset provides the approximate locations of 39 proposed streamgages. These streamgages include 31 presently operated by the West

This geospatial dataset includes one point feature class file and associated FGDC-compliant metadata representing datasets to support development of ecological limit functions for the Cumberland Plateau in northeastern Middle Tennessee and southeastern Kentucky. Information contained within the dataset represents values of basin characteristics, estimates of streamflow characteristics, measures o
