Population with On-Site Wastewater Treatment within the Pacific Drainages of the United States, 2010
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) is developing SPARROW models (SPAtially Related Regressions On Watershed Attributes) to assess the transport of contaminants (e.g., nutrients) through the Pacific drainages of the United States (the Columbia River basin; the coastal drainages of Washington, Oregon, and California; the Klamath River basin; the Central Valley of California, and the west slopes of the Sierra Nevada Mountains). SPARROW relates instream water quality measurements to spatially referenced characteristics of watersheds, including contaminant sources and the factors influencing terrestrial and aquatic transport. The number of people with on-site wastewater treatment (primarily septic tanks) is a potential...
These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) in compressed LAS (*.laz) format, generated from the July 17–19, 2023, hydrographic survey of Bubbly Creek and various sidings, harbors, and turning basins on the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal (CS&SC) in Cook County, Illinois. The survey includes all Bubbly Creek from the confluence with the CS&SC in the north to the Racine Avenue Pump station in the south; various sidings and turning basins along the CS&SC between Kedzie Avenue and South Halsted Street; and the Marine Safety Station harbor near the Chicago Harbor Lock on Lake Michigan. This survey is a continuation and enhancement of the bathymetric survey of the CS&SC in Cook County, Illinois, conducted...
The electrical conductivity of the earth is used to help infer lithological and pore fluid properties. Various geophysical methods can provide estimates of the distribution of below ground electrical conductivity, with each method having certain limitations. This data release presents raw and processed results from hand-caried frequency domain electromagnetic induction imaging (EMI) data collected from June 27-28 along Blacktail Creek near Williston, North Dakota. Data were primarily collected by walking in the creek or along the riparian zones with the GEM-2 instrument (Geophex, Ltd.) at approximately 0.5 m off the ground in horizontal coplanar (ski flat) mode.
These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) in ASCII XYZ format, generated from the June 2, 2017, hydrographic survey of the Gasconade River near structure A3787 on U.S. Highway 50 at Mount Sterling, Missouri, to help identify possible effects from extreme flooding on May 1-2, 2017. Hydrographic data were collected using a high-resolution multibeam echosounder mapping system (MBMS), which consists of a multibeam echosounder (MBES) and an inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel. Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned survey lines distributed throughout the reach. Data collection software integrated and stored the depth data from the MBES and...
To accurately estimate agricultural water use or to project future water demands, a detailed inventory of current irrigated crop acreage is needed at a high level of resolution. In many Florida counties this kind of detailed high-resolution inventory is not available. A detailed digital map and summary of irrigated acreage during the 2015 growing season was developed for 13 of the 15 counties that compose the Suwannee River Water Management District. The irrigated areas were delineated using land-use data, orthoimagery, water management district consumptive water-use permits, and digitized agricultural landuse maps developed by the Florida Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, Florida Statewide Agricultural...

Thawing permafrost in interior Alaska will lead to dramatic changes in stream discharge, bank stability, and water chemistry. Stream discharge will change from surface- to groundwater-dominated flow, resulting in increased baseflows (including winter flows) and declining annual flows. Thawing permafrost along streams and rivers will decrease bank stability, which could lead to erosion and alteration of the stream channel. Shifts to deeper flow paths will result in altered stream chemistry, depending upon the soil types intersected and residence times. Observations in Alaska show that flow paths will interact with organic-rich soils and result in increased concentrations of dissolved organic carbon and nitrogen,...
Within the study area, small and large stream ecosystems provide important habitat for aquatic insects, fish, and waterbirds. Small streams are generally slow moving and freeze completely during the winter. However, some small streams may provide overwinter habitat in the form of springs and deep pools. Small stream ecosystems support extensive spawning and rearing habitat for numerous fish species in the study area. Small streams also provide important habitat for aquatic invertebrates as well as important transportation and recreational uses for local residents. Large streams are typically less productive than smaller streams due to warmer temperatures in smaller tributaries. Consequently, smaller streams are...
The Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD) defines the areal extent of surface water drainage to a point, accounting for all land and surface areas. Watershed Boundaries are determined solely upon science-based hydrologic principles, not favoring any administrative boundaries or special projects, nor particular program or agency. The intent of defining Hydrologic Units (HU) for the Watershed Boundary Dataset is to establish a base-line drainage boundary framework, accounting for all land and surface areas. At a minimum, the WBD is being delineated and georeferenced to the USGS 1:24,000 scale topographic base map meeting National Map Accuracy Standards (NMAS). Hydrologic units are given a Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC). For...
The current (2015) and long-term future (2060) landscape condition model (LCM) was modified for Aquatic Coarse-Filter CEs to develop condition scores for both the stream network and individual 6th-level hydrologic units. Landscape condition is a measurement of the impact of the human footprint on a landscape. Human modifications were categorized into different levels of impact (site impact scores) based on the current state of knowledge about the impacts of specific human land uses. An artificial stream network was calculated from the USGS National Elevation Dataset 2 Arc Second Digital Elevation Model using TauDEM. The flow direction grid and LCM grids were used to create a condition-weighted contributing area...

Some of the NOS rasters intentionally do not align or have the same extent. These rasters were not snapped to a common raster per the authors' discretion. Please review selected rasters prior to use. These varying alignments are a result of the use of differing source data sets and all products derived from them. We recommend that users snap or align rasters as best suits their own projects. - Construction or development, especially oil and gas operations near deep connected lakes could increase sedimentation to lakes. Run-off from unpaved roads can result in sedimentation to lakes increasing turbidity and impacting water quality for aquatic organisms and human use. Oil and gas activities near streams that are connected...
These geospatial data were collected during the August 10, 2016 topographic and hydrographic survey of the Musselshell River at S-300 at Ryegate, MT.
These data are supplemental rip-rap gradation data (Wolman Pebble Count) in text (.txt) format, collected during 2014-2018 field seasons for select bridges in the United States. These data were collected using a measuring tape to determine riprap gradation (D15, D50, D85, and D100) on in-place riprap at bridge piers and/or abutments at various locations in each study reach. They supplement the Geospatial Data for Bridge Scour Countermeasure Assessments at Select Bridges in the United States, 2016–18. For high-resolution sites, traditional multibeam surveys were conducted using methods described in Huizinga (2015).
A detailed inventory of irrigated crop acreage is not available at the level of resolution needed to accurately estimate agricultural water-use or to project future water demands in many Florida counties. A detailed summary table of irrigated acreage for the 2016 growing season was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) for Santa Rosa County, Florida, and includes totals of acreage by irrigation system. It also provides a comparison between published acreage totals for previous years by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) Census of Agriculture and those determined from the 2016 inventory. The irrigated acreage estimated by the USGS for the 2016 inventory was 560 acres.

Discharge measurements and velocity mapping surveys were completed at select tie channels located at Nimz Ranch, on the main-stem Kootenai River. Tie channels convey water and sediments between the main river channel and river floodplain waterbodies. The velocity mapping surveys are used to document how the tie channels interact with the main-stem Kootenai River. Similar surveys will be conducted following project construction completion (after 2021). Velocity mapping provides data to support the flow split estimates in the tie channel reconnection. These mapping efforts are a quantitative assessment of the the tie channels role in altering drift, temperature, and floodplain storage. An acoustic Doppler current...
The geographic distribution of stream reaches with potential to support high quality habitat for salmonids has bearing on the actual status of habitats and populations over broad spatial extents. As part of the Coastal Landscape Analysis and Modeling Study (CLAMS), we examined how salmon-habitat potential was distributed relative to current and future (+100 years) landscape characteristics in the Coastal Province of Oregon, USA. The intrinsic potential to provide high-quality rearing habitat was modeled for juvenile coho salmon (Oncorhynchus kisutch) and juvenile steelhead (O. mykiss) based on stream flow, valley constraint, and stream gradient. See Supplemental Information for additional detail. BLM (Bureau of...
The High Resolution National Hydrography Dataset Plus (NHDPlus HR) is an integrated set of geospatial data layers, including the best available National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), the 10-meter 3D Elevation Program Digital Elevation Model (3DEP DEM), and the National Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD). The NHDPlus HR combines the NHD, 3DEP DEMs, and WBD to create a stream network with linear referencing, feature naming, "value added attributes" (VAAs), elevation-derived catchments, and other features for hydrologic data analysis. The stream network with linear referencing is a system of data relationships applied to hydrographic systems so that one stream reach "flows" into another and "events" can be tied to and traced...
