Estimated Use of Water by Subbasin (HUC8) in the Red River Basin, 2010 and 2015 Estimated Use of Water by Subbasin (HUC8) in the Red River Basin, 2010 and 2015
The Red River basin is one of several national "focus area studies" in the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Census. The objective of the National Water Census is to provide nationally-consistent base layers of well-documented data that account for water availability and use nationally. A focus area study (FAS) is a stakeholder-driven assessment of water availability in river basins...
Water Quality Profile and Phytoplankton Community Data for Four Central Louisiana Oxbow Lakes, 2013-2015 Water Quality Profile and Phytoplankton Community Data for Four Central Louisiana Oxbow Lakes, 2013-2015
Nutrient and phytoplankton data indicate poor environmental health in four oxbow lakes in central Louisiana suggesting that long-term agriculture practices and increases in shoreline development have accelerated eutrophication. Surface-water quality and phytoplankton indicators of eutrophication were examined at Lake Bruin, Lake St. John, Lake St. Joseph, and False River Lake along an
Lidar-derived Data Layers for South Carolina StreamStats, 2007-2013 Lidar-derived Data Layers for South Carolina StreamStats, 2007-2013
In cooperation with the South Carolina Department of Transportation, the U.S. Geological Survey developed a StreamStats web application (https://water.usgs.gov/osw/streamstats/) that provides analytical tools useful for water-resources planning and management (Ries and others, 2017). This data set presents the lidar-derived flow direction, flow accumulation, streamline, and hydro...
Map of Study Area and Phytoplankton Taxonomy in Three North Louisiana Reservoirs: Cross Lake, Bayou D'Arbonne Lake, and Poverty Point Reservoir, June 2009-February 2011 Map of Study Area and Phytoplankton Taxonomy in Three North Louisiana Reservoirs: Cross Lake, Bayou D'Arbonne Lake, and Poverty Point Reservoir, June 2009-February 2011
This data release includes GIS shapefiles and metadata for location of the study area and phytoplankton taxonomy counts determined by Dr. Russel Rhodes, Faculty Emeritus, Department of Biology, Missouri State University, in three north Louisiana reservoirs: Cross Lake, Bayou D'Arbonne Lake, and Poverty Point Reservoir, June 2009-February 2011.
Flood of August 2016 in Louisiana Flood of August 2016 in Louisiana
Heavy rainfall occurred across Louisiana in August, 2016 as a result of a slow-moving area of low pressure and a high amount of atmospheric moisture. The storm caused major flooding in the southern portions of Louisiana including areas surrounding Baton Rouge and Lafayette. Flooding occurred along the rivers such as the Amite, Comite, Tangipahoa, Tickfaw, Vermilion, and Mermentau. Over...
