This tabular data set represents average topgraphic wetness index compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The Topgraphic Wetness Index is a steady state index that’s used to predict areas susceptible to saturated land surfaces and areas that carry the potential to produce overland flow. The index is represented by ln (a/tan(beta)), where ln is the Napierian logarithm, a is the upslope area per unit contour length, and tan/(beta) is the slope...
This metadata record documents an ascii comma-delimited file representing estimated nitrogen in kilograms by NHDPlus v2.1 catchments for the conterminous United States. Nitrogen estimates were taken from Estimated nitrogen from septic for the conterminous United States, 2010 published by the U.S. Geological Survey. Nitrogen values by individual reach catchments (COMID) were determined by calculating a zonal mean in a GIS.

This data set represents the mean annual average for the Rainfall and Runoff factor ("R factor" of Universal Soil Loss Equation) for the period 1971-2000 compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data were produced by the PRISM Group at Oregon State University. Units for the Rainfall and Runoff factor are hundreds of foot-ton force-inch/acre-hour per year. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments...
This tabular data set represents percent of irrigated agriculture, based on 2012 MODIS Irrigated Agricultural Data (MIrAD) data compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data for percent of irrigated agriculture, 2012 MIrAD data was produced by the United States Geological Survey (USGS, 2015). Units are percent. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river...
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 nutrient loads in streams across the Midwest Region of the United 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 water-quality load...
Variables from various USGS runoff models. Climate input variables as well as outputs such as runoff and actual evapotranspiration.
This tabular data describes the annual average duration of consecutive wet and dry events during the 30-year period 1981 – 2010 for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. A wet event is defined as a period when the number of consecutive days with precipitation equals or exceeds 1 millimeter. A dry event is defined as a period when the number of consecutive days with precipitation equals 0 millimeters. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data for 30 year (1981-2010) annual average...

These tabular data sets represent mean monthly precipitation (millimeters) data from 800-meter PRISM data for the years 2016 and 2017 compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data for mean monthly precipitation (Celsius) from 800-meter PRISM data was produced by the PRISM Group at Oregon State University. Units are degrees Celsius. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale. Reach catchments accumulated upstream...
This tabular data set represents estimated mean annual snow as a percent of total precipitation, 1905-2002 compiled for two spatial components of the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusv2) for the conterminous United States; 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. This dataset can be linked to the NHDPlus version 2 data suite by the unique identifier COMID. The source data for estimated mean annual snow as a percent of total precipitation was produced by the USGS (Wolock, written communic., 2012) and processed based on the methods described by McCabe and Wolock (USGS, 2009). Units are percent. Reach catchment information characterizes data at the local...
This tabular data set represents monthly average precipitation values (millimeters) described in Wolock and McCabe (2018), compiled for the NHDPlus version 2 data suite (NHDPlusV2) for the conterminous United States for the years 1945 - 2015. Linkage of the precipitation data with NHDPlusV2 is achieved through the common unique identifier COMID. The precipitation values are estimated both for: 1) individual reach catchments and 2) reach catchments accumulated upstream through the river network. The reach catchment information characterizes data at the local scale, whereas the catchments accumulated through the river network characterize cumulative upstream conditions. The network-accumulated values are derived using...
Variables such as long term and monthly temperature and precipitation averages, days of measurable precipitation, firat and last freeze dates.
Variables related to soil properties such as STATSGO or SSUROGO. For example, Hydrologic group or percent sand, silt, or clay.
This dataset contains catchment-level estimates of nitrogen and phosphorus fertilizer use, for agricultural lands, for the conterminous U.S., for 2012. An approach was developed to relate farm commercial fertilizer sales data from the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) to a set of explanatory variables using spatially-referenced modeling methods. Separate models for nitrogen and phosphorus are developed to estimate elemental fertilizer use on agricultural lands for the conterminous U.S. at the National Hydrography Dataset Plus version 2 (NHDPlusV2) catchment scale. The approach builds on earlier efforts that use Association of American Plant Food Control Officials (AAPFCO) data on fertilizer...
This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release includes input and output tabular files associated with mean seasonal 2002 simulations of total nitrogen and total phosphorus loads of the northeastern United States. The mean seasonal (MS) simulations are performed using a dynamic configuration of the USGS’s Spatially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (dynamicSPARROW-MS) model, nonlinear regression techniques, and monitored data. Model development, calibration, and results are described in the related external resource (Schmadel et al., 2021).
Nitrogen and phosphorus losses from agricultural areas have impacted the water quality of downstream rivers, lakes, and oceans. As a result, investment in the adoption of agricultural best management practices (BMPs) has grown but assessments of their effectiveness at large spatial scales have been sparse. This study applies regional Spatially Referenced Regression On Watershed-attributes (SPARROW) models developed for the Midwest, Northeast, and Southeast regions of the United States to quantify regional effects of BMPs on nutrient losses from agricultural lands. These models were used because they account for specific BMPs in the prediction of instream nutrient loads. This data release accompanies the journal...
