This data release contains estimates of mean daily gross primary production (GPP) and ecosystem respiration (ER) in Bronson and Fanno Creeks, Oregon during August of 2016. These estimates were part of a larger study of the water-quality effects of beaver dams and beaver activity in selected urban streams of the Tualatin River Basin in northwestern Oregon. The mean daily GPP and ER values were estimated using two approaches (both of which are publicly available and documented): 1) a USGS model developed using the R programming language and 2) a Washington Department of Ecology model that runs in Excel. Inputs for the models included hourly measurements of dissolved-oxygen concentration, water temperature, photosynthetically...

The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model was used to aid in the interpretation of monitoring data and simulate streamflow and water-quality conditions in streams across the Pacific Region of the Unites States. SPARROW is a hybrid empirical/process-based mass balance model that can be used to estimate the major sources and environmental factors that affect the long-term supply, transport, and fate of contaminants in streams. The spatially explicit model structure is defined by a river reach network coupled with contributing catchments. The model is calibrated by statistically relating watershed sources and transport-related properties to monitoring-based...
The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers is considering changing the operations of Berlin Lake, Lake Milton, Michael J Kirwan Reservoir, and Mosquito Creek Lake. The lakes in this study are all reservoirs, formed by dams. These models were constructed to simulate those operations and document possible water-quality effects in the lakes, the lake outflows, and the Mahoning River downstream of the lakes. This data release includes U.S. Army Corps of Engineers water-quality data and the input and output files from the mechanistic water-quality models (CE-QUAL-W2).

This data release contains the model inputs, outputs, and source code (written in R) for the boosted regression tree (BRT) and artificial neural network (ANN) models developed for four sites in Upper Klamath Lake which were used to simulate daily maximum pH and daily minimum dissolved oxygen (DO) from May 18th to October 4th in 2005-12 and 2015-19 at four sites, and to evaluate variable effects and their importance. Simulations were not developed for 2013 and 2014 due to a large amount of missing meteorological data. The sites included: 1) Williamson River (WMR), which was located in the northern portion of the lake near the mouth of the Williamson River and had a depth between 0.7 and 2.9 meters; 2) Rattlesnake...

The USGS measured photosynthetically active radiation (PAR, wavelength between 400 and 700 nanometers) at Malheur Lake, Oregon, as vertical profiles and as continuous measurements at a fixed depth, in 2017 and 2018. Malheur Lake is a large, shallow, turbid lake located in southeastern Oregon that fluctuates widely in surface area in response to yearly precipitation and climatic cycles. High suspended-sediment concentrations likely are negatively affecting the survival of aquatic plants. The PAR measurements in this data release were collected to assess PAR attenuation in the lake, and to quantify attenuation as a function of water quality (primarily turbidity). The continuous PAR measurements were collected at 10-minute...

This data release contains the model input and output data, and supporting files, from hydrologic simulations of streamflow conditions in the upper Klamath River Basin using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). The model was calibrated for the portion of the basin draining into Upper Klamath Lake. It simulates daily streamflow, snow, solar radiation, evapotranspiration, surface-water, and groundwater processes within the basin. The model calibration period spanned water years 2000 through 2015, and the model validation period spanned water years 1984 through 1999. The model was calibrated and validated using measured streamflow, snowpack, evapotranspiration, and solar radiation data sets.

This data release contains the results from a study that characterized the concentration and quality of dissolved organic carbon (DOC) in the McKenzie River, a relatively pristine watershed in western Oregon, and its link to forming disinfection by-products (DBPs) in treated drinking water. The study aimed to identify the primary source(s) of DOC in source water for the Eugene Water and Electric Board’s (EWEB) conventional treatment plant on the McKenzie River near river mile 11, upstream of Hayden Bridge. The two classes of regulated compounds examined—trihalomethanes (THMs) and haloacetic acids (HAAs)—form when organic carbon in raw source water reacts with chlorine and (or) bromine during water treatment. The...

The Columbia Slough is located south and parallel to the Columbia River in Portland, Oregon and consists of approximately 19 miles of predominantly urbanized waterway that drains approximately 32,700 acres of land with industrial, commercial, residential, and agricultural uses. Per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) are found in aqueous film forming foams (AFFF) used for firefighting, and soil and groundwater contamination by PFASs has been detected at Portland International Airport (PDX) and the adjacent Portland Air National Guard base (PANG). PFASs have also been detected in sediments from Columbia Slough, which receives stormwater runoff from both PDX and PANG. Fish tissue samples were collected from the...
This data release contains the results from a study of the transport and transformation of nitrate in groundwater and streams across diverse glacial terranes within the Western Lake Michigan (WMIC) Drainages and Eastern Iowa (EIWA) Basins of the United States. The primary focus of the study was on how varying redox conditions influence the timing and delivery of nitrate to streams in agricultural watersheds. The data represents dissolved gas modeling results that were obtained from the Dissolved Gas Modeling and Environmental Tracer Analysis (DGMETA) software program. DGMETA was used to produce calibrated dissolved gas models that provide optimal recharge temperature, excess air, and excess nitrogen gas concentrations...
This data release contains three sets of estimated values at selected sites within the Colorado River Basin: 1) daily specific conductance at 143 sites in the Upper Basin and 3 sites in the Lower Basin (WY 1980-2022); 2) daily baseflow discharge at 100 sites in the Upper Basin and 3 sites in the Lower Basin (WY 1980-2022); and 3) seasonal baseflow discharge and baseflow dissolved solids load at 143 sites in the Upper Basin (WY 1986-2020). The estimates of daily baseflow discharge will be used as input to an application of the USGS GSFLOW model, which is a coupled groundwater and surface-water flow model based on the integration of the USGS Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS-V) and the USGS Modular Groundwater...
This data set contains estimated mean annual loads of suspended sediment, total suspended solids, and silicate soutes for selected watersheds of western Oregon and northwestern California between water years 1951 and 2016. The loads were estimated using the USGS Fluxmaster program with no detrending, which is equivalent to the loads estimated using the USGS LOADEST program.

This data release contains a boosted regression tree (BRT) model (written in the R programming language), and the input and output data from that model that were used to relate base flow nitrate concentrations in the Chesapeake Bay watershed to catchment characteristics. The input data consists of two types of information: 1) surface water nitrate concentrations collected by the USGS and partnering agencies in the Chesapeake Bay watershed between 1970 and 2013 and 2) potential predictor variables that included nitrogen sources, catchment characteristics, soil and groundwater chemistry, soil drainage and composition, and aquifer geology. The results from the BRT model were used to identify ten significant predictors...

This data release contains estimated stream temperature metrics at three locations in the Willamette River Basin, northwestern Oregon for various periods between 1954 and 2018. These locations were the Willamette River at Albany, the Willamette River at Harrisburg, and the Willamette River at Keizer. A regression program (written in the R programming language) was used to relate the values for two stream temperature metrics (the seven-day average of the daily mean and the seven-day average of the daily maximum) to the seven-day average of the daily mean or the seven-day average of the daily maximum air temperature, and to the mean daily streamflow for five seasonal time periods at each of the locations. The regression...
