A study to develop an earth observation monitoring system to detect harmful algal bloom (HABs) presence within selected north Texas reservoirs using satellite imagery was conducted by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS). This data release provides the data collected for this study including site locations, water-quality, phytoplankton, and hyperspectral water surface reflectance data. Data were collected between September of 2019 and December of 2020 at 39 sites distributed across 16 reservoirs and 1 stream. The stream site was sampled in response to an algal bloom in August of 2019 in Austin Tex., and is included herein but the reservoir sites are the focus of this data release. The datasets include all routine and...

Mountain Creek Lake is a reservoir in north Texas 8 miles southwest of Dallas, Texas where historical contamination by polychlorinated biphenyl compounds (PCBs) and other organic contaminants has been reported. There was a need to reassess concentrations of contaminates of organic and inorganic compounds in the reservoir. In cooperation with the City of Dallas, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) sampled Mountain Creek Lake and two downstream stream sites over two sampling events. The study area consisted of seven sites on Mountain Creek Lake, one site on the Trinity River, and one site on Mountain Creek. Water-column and bed-sediment samples were collected at each site in June and August of 2019. Water-quality field...

This data release contains waterborne self-potential (WaSP) and surface-water (SW) temperature, conductivity, and specific conductance data measured by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) along a 43.2-kilometer (km) long profile in the Elm Fork of the Trinity River upstream from the Dallas, Texas, metropolitan area. The WaSP data were measured from a kayak during January 25–27, 2022, along three survey segments between Lewisville Lake Dam and Frasier Dam Recreational Area. The first segment was surveyed on January 25, began a short distance downstream from Lewisville Lake Dam, and ended about 19.2 river-km downstream, a few meters upstream from Carrollton Dam in McInnish Park. The second was surveyed on January 26,...
