A before-and-after study design was used to examine effects of changes in cattle grazing practices on channel stability in Muddy Creek, an arroyo in the Colorado River headwaters. The changes in grazing practices were abrupt and focused on keeping cattle out of the riparian zone and increasing herd movement. We digitized 620 meander loop cutoff geometries within the digitized alluvial valley bottom of Muddy Creek and used the meander loop cutoff rate as a broad measure of channel stability. Poisson regression modeling of meander loop cutoff rate indicated that the change in grazing practices caused an order-of-magnitude decline in meander loop cutoff rate that was independent of other hydroclimatic and human-caused...

Component file of Flow-Conditioned Parameter Grids for the Wyoming StreamStats: A Seamless 30-year climatologies of mean annual total precipitation, mean monthly total precipitation, and first of the month (January through June) mean water equivalent of snow cover basin characteristic datasets.
To aid in parameterization of mechanistic, statistical, and machine learning models of hydrologic systems in the Wyoming StreamStat study area, flow-conditioned parameter grids (FCPGs) have been generated describing upstream basin elevation, slope, level III ecoregion codes, land cover classification, waterbodies, first of the month snow water equivalent (Jan-Jun), soil type, average soil permeability, evaptranspiration Spring and Summer, and modeled 30-year normal climatologies of average annual total precipitation, average monthly total precipitation, average annual daily mean temperature, and average monthly daily mean temperature values within the Wyoming StreamStats study area.
Field-Verified Irrigated Lands Dataset in the Milk River Basin of Montana and Alberta, 2021 and 2022
Field-verified irrigated lands data were collected for the Remote Sensing Component of the St. Mary-Milk Rivers Consumptive Use study to aid in the identification and delineation of agricultural fields that are irrigated in 2021 and 2022 in the Milk River basin. This field verification of irrigated fields will provide data that will be used to ground truth evapotranspiration estimates obtained in the Milk River basin using remote sensing methods. This work is part of a larger project aimed at developing a historical database representing monthly actual evapotranspiration (ETa) totals in the Milk River basin from 1985-present using remote sensing. This database will lay the foundation for the establishment of a remote...

We used a before-and-after study design to examine effects of changes in cattle grazing practices on channel stability in Muddy Creek, an arroyo in the Colorado River headwaters. The changes in grazing practices were abrupt and focused on keeping cattle out of the riparian zone and increasing herd movement. We digitized 620 meander loop cutoff geometries within the alluvial valley bottom of Muddy Creek. Poisson regression modeling of meander loop cutoff rate indicated that the change in grazing practices caused a decline in meander loop cutoff rate that was on the scale of an order of magnitude and independent of other hydroclimatic and human-caused factors. The polyline data released here was used in our analysis...

Component file of Flow-Conditioned Parameter Grids for the Wyoming StreamStats: A seamless mean annual total, and mean monthly total air temperature basin characteristic datasets.
The WY-MT WSC conducted a study to develop regression equations for estimating peak-flow frequencies in Montana, using channel-width characteristics. Channel widths were measured in the field and from aerial photographs. This data release includes three child items: a table of field measurements, a table of measurements from aerial photographs, and a summary table of the data (field measurements and measurements from aerial photographs) used to develop the regression equations.
In 2015, agricultural irrigation withdrawals accounted for about 42 percent of the total freshwater withdrawals in the United States (Dieter and others, 2018). Consistent and accurate designations of irrigated agricultural lands, irrigation system type, conveyance systems, and water source (groundwater or surface water) are essential for the determination of irrigation water use and ultimately the sound management of our nation’s water resources. Several local, state, and federal agencies compile data (crops, irrigation, irrigation system type, etc.) that can be used to estimate irrigation withdrawals for agricultural. The format of these data varies from data tables, typically compiled at the county level, to...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Wyoming-Montana Waters Science Center, in cooperation with the Wyoming Water Development Office created this project repository that contains all the Wyoming StreamStats data and analyses. Sets of data and analyses are published as data releases within this repository as child items.
This data release presents drainage-basin characteristics for 12,639 road and stream intersections in Montana. The drainage-basin characteristics presented include those computed by the Montana StreamStats application (McCarthy and others, 2016). Statistical analysis of the road and stream intersections was included in the report "Peak-Flow Variability, Peak-Flow Informational Needs, and Consideration of Regional Regression Analyses in Managing the Crest-Stage Gage Network in Montana" (Sando, 2021).

Component file of basin characteristic parameter grids for the Wyoming StreamStats application. These datasets are raster representations of basin elevation, slope, level III and IV ecoregion codes, hydrologic regions, land cover classification, waterbodies, first of the month snow water equivalent (Jan-Jun), soil type, average soil permeability, evaptranspiration Spring and Summer, and modeled 30-year normal climatologies of average annual total precipitation, average monthly total precipitation, average annual daily mean temperature, and average monthly daily mean temperature values within the Wyoming StreamStats study area.
Component file of Flow-Conditioned Parameter Grids for the Wyoming StreamStats: A seamless slope basin characteristic datasets.
As part of its mission to unify and standardize research and development activities of Federal agencies involved in fluvial sediment studies, the Federal Interagency Sedimentation Project (FISP) partnered with the USGS Wyoming-Montana (WY-MT) Water Science Center to examine the potential for use of standard, low-tech laboratory equipment to perform calibration checks on the LISST-ABS™ sensor (hereinafter ‘ABS sensor’) on long-term deployments. The ABS sensor was developed by Sequoia Scientific (Sequoia) as an alternative to turbidity sensors for monitoring suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs) in surface waters. The lab experiments were intended to provide USGS scientists and the public with interim guidance...

This data release was produced by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Wyoming Water Development Office for the purpose of calculating basin characteristics in preparation for the Wyoming StreamStats application. The data are parameter grid representations of various environmental, geological, and land use attributes within the Wyoming StreamStats study area and will be served in the Wyoming StreamStats application to describe delineated watersheds. The StreamStats application provides access to spatial analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering and design purposes. The map-based user interface can be used to delineate drainage areas, get...
Note: This data release is currently under revision and is temporarily unavailable. These produced datasets include water-quality and quality assurance results collected by the USGS and other entities from 1952 to 2016 near the City of Poplar as well as throughout the East Poplar oil field, leachate results collected from drilling core within the Cretaceous Bearpaw Formation and Monoammonium phosphate (MAP) fertilizer results collected by the USGS in 2012. The handling and disposal of the brine has resulted in contamination of not only the shallow aquifers in the East Poplar oil field, but also the Poplar River (Thamke and Craigg, 1997; Thamke and Smith, 2014). The shallow aquifers are the only available source...
