Observations related to water and thermal budgets in the Delaware River Basin. Data from reservoirs in the basin include reservoir characteristics (e.g., bathymetry), daily water levels, daily depth-resolved water temperature observations, and daily inflows, diversions, and releases. Data from streams in the basin include daily flow and temperature observations. Data were compiled from a variety of sources to cover the modeling period (1980-2021), including the National Water Inventory System, Water Quality Portal, EcoSHEDS stream water temperature database, ReaLSAT, and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation. The data are formatted as a single csv (comma separated values) or zipped csv. For modeling...

Several models were used to improve water temperature prediction in the Delaware River Basin. PRMS-SNTemp was used to predict daily temperatures at 456 stream reaches in the Delaware River Basin. Daily stream temperature predictions for inflow and outflow reaches for Cannonsville and Pepacton reservoirs were pulled aside into a separate csv to be used as inputs to the General Lake Model (GLM). Reservoir outflow predictions and in-reservoir temperature predictions were generated with calibrated models built using GLM v3.1. We calculated a decay rate based on the modeled reservoir outflow temperatures and observed downstream river temperature to estimate the decay of the reservoir influence on stream temperature as...

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.
