Additional data layers have been developed to supplement recently published information collected and developed for an investigation of shoreline erosion along the Lower Brule Reservation in Central South Dakota. The additional data layers presented in this data release include georeferenced 1965 single frame aerial photos, digitized shoreline features from the georeferenced 1965 images, digitized shoreline features from 2016 aerial imagery, and real-time kinematic surveys of shoreline features on selected reaches of the Lake Sharpe shoreline in 2018. This effort was completed by the USGS Dakota Water Science Center in cooperation with the Lower Brule Sioux Tribe, Tribal Preservation Office.
Disaggregation files for modeling stochastic daily streamflow from stochastic 10-day streamflow for Reservoirs on the Souris River, United States and Canada
The International Souris River Study Board requires daily stochastic streamflow to evaluate reservoir operation alternatives. Natural 10-day stochastic streamflow from Kolars and others (2016) was used in conjunction with Army Corps of Engineers HEC-ResSim historical simulated streamflow to develop 100 realizations of daily stochastic streamflow that are 100 years long for the Souris River Basin.
This metadata file describes a comma separated values (csv) file of data used to support attribution of trends and change points in annual peak streamflows observed at gages in the Northeast region. The file includes USGS gage identification and location information, developed land cover and basin storage data, correlation results between annual peak magnitudes and precipitation and Palmer Drought Severity Index (PDSI), and trend and change point results for precipitation and PDSI.

This data release is a collection of hydrologic characteristics of groundwater and surface water of selected lakes (Dry Lake #1 and #2, and Antelope Lake) within Clark County, South Dakota. The compiled data was broken into two parts, Reports and Maps, and GIS Data. The Reports and Maps dataset contains PDF reports, maps, and logs for aquifers, lake bathymetry, lithology, and observation wells near the selected lakes and for the entire county. The GIS datasets include publicly available data found on federal and state websites. The GIS Data is presented as comma separated value files, zipped folders with shapefiles, rasters, and a duplicate file geodatabase containing geodatabase tables, shapefile tables, and raster...
The datasets in this data release contain the results of an analysis of the U.S. Geological Survey's historical water-use data from 1985 to 2015. Data were assessed to determine the top category of water-use by volume. Data from groundwater, surface water, and total water (groundwater plus surface water) use were parsed by water type, and the top category of use by county or the geographic region or local government equivalent to a county (for example, parishes in Louisiana) was determined. There are two sets of results provided, one for the "Priority" categories of water use and the second for all categories of water use. "Priority" categories are irrigation, public supply, and thermoelectric power and comprise...

ScienceBase brings together the best information it can find about USGS researchers and offices to show connections to publications, projects, and data. We are still working to improve this process and information is by no means complete. If you don't see everything you know is associated with you, a colleague, or your office, please be patient while we work to connect the dots. Feel free to contact sciencebase@usgs.gov.
