Concern for future availability of water resources in the United States has grown in recent years as a result of increased awareness of competing needs for water supply, irrigation, ecological flow requirements and other demands. A continuing evaluation of the hydrologic cycle in the states of the Lower Mississippi-Gulf Water Science Center, using both holistic and component approaches, and addressing the questions of when, where, and how much water is available is basic to the economic health and future of the region. Tracking the status of a resource through time will provide managers, suppliers, and users with the information needed to make decisions related to water use and will allow for more accurate projections...

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Water Use program, responding to directives in Section 9508 of the SECURE Water Act of 2009, provides improved water use data collection techniques as well as development of estimation methods and development and application of water use models to improve reporting of water withdrawal and consumptive use information for 8 categories of use (public supply, domestic, irrigation, thermoelectric power, self-supplied industrial, mining, livestock, and aquaculture). The Water Use program has been strategically designed to achieve multiple objectives in the USGS Water Mission Area (WMA) Strategic Science Plan, including Goal 2, Objective 2.4 - Develop a comprehensive understanding of human...

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This is a raster-based, depth to ground-water data set for the State of Nevada. The source of this data set is a statewide water-table contour data set constructed from water-table contours collected from 1947 to 2004 and published in 38 reports from 1961 to 2004, depth to ground water contours from Static Ground Water Levels of Nevada published in 1974, and depth to ground water contours from Diamond Valley published in 2006.

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This data set consists of water-table contours for Nevada. These data were created as part of an effort to provide statewide information on water table and depth to ground water for Nevada. The data set was constructed from water-table contours published in 38 reports between 1961 and 2004. Data used to make the contours were collected from 1947 to 2004. The reports used were a subset of 104 reports identified during a literature...

Water management starts with the understanding of the spaciotemporal distribution of the available water, uses, and losses. A planet with limited water resources needs accurate, reliable and frequently-updated data and tools to assess and monitor historical and current uses and plan for future needs. Scientists at EROS harness massive amounts of satellite and global weather datasets and integrate them with agro-hydroloic models to create multi-scale products for use by resource managers and researchers across the world for improved decision making and scenario building in water, agriculture, and natural resources. Agro-hydrologic research focuses on hydrologic processes between 2-m below and 2-m above the ground...

Global change processes are producing shifts in temperature, precipitation, and seasonal streamflow regimes across North America. Much of the floodplain hydrology in the U.S. is managed through water control operations, often implemented on short time scales (e.g., weekly decisions), in response to short-term changes in precipitation. This operational model does not account for potential long-term trends, such as increased recurrence or shifts in seasonal timing of high flow events within a year. Therefore, polices that only focus on short-time scales and recent historic conditions may not perform as well under altered climate regimes. This uncertainty in future floodplain conditions is concerning for a variety...

The South Atlantic Water Science Center collects high-quality hydrologic data and conducts unbiased, scientifically sound research on Georgia's, North Carolina's, and South Carolina's water resources. We meet the needs of those who use our information—from the distribution, availability, and quality of water resources to topic-oriented research to address current hydrological issues.
This community catalog serves the USGS Pennsylvania Water Science Center. The Water Science Center's mission is to collect, analyze and disseminate the impartial hydrologic data and information needed to wisely manage water resources for the people of the United States and the Commonwealth of Pennsylvania. In Pennsylvania, the USGS's water-resources roots date back to the late 1800's, with the initiation of streamflow gaging on the Delaware and Susquehanna Rivers and the evaluation of groundwater resources in various parts of the Commonwealth. Today, the Pennsylvania Water Science Center's cadre of nearly 80 scientists, technicians, and support staff in New Cumberland, Exton, Pittsburgh, and Williamsport work in...
This community serves to document data and analysis collected by researchers within the Upper Midwest Water Science Center whose mission is to collect high-quality hydrologic data and conduct unbiased, scientifically sound studies of water resources within the Great Lakes and Upper Mississippi Basins. We strive to meet the changing needs of those who use our information—from the distribution, availability, and quality of our water resources to topic-oriented research that addresses current hydrological issues.
Clean water is important for a variety of uses, including drinking, recreation, and as habitat for aquatic species. Nonpoint-source pollution, such as nutrients, sediment, and pesticides from agricultural runoff, is a major cause of impaired water quality in the United States . Vegetation and soil in natural land cover help to remove pollutants from runoff water before it reaches streams and other waterways by slowing water flow and physically trapping sediment. To assess the spatial distribution of water purification potential in the southeastern United States, we mapped the demand for purification as the total area of agricultural land and the supply of natural land cover in the flowpath over which water moves...

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. This data set represents the amount of fresh surface water withdrawal for irrigation, in megaliters per day, in the conterminous United States. The data set was used as an input data layer for a national model to predict nitrate concentration in shallow ground water. Nolan and Hitt (2006) developed two national models to predict contamination of ground water by nonpoint sources of nitrate. The nonlinear approach to national-scale...
