The High Plains aquifer extends from south of 32 degrees to almost 44 degrees north latitude and from 96 degrees 30 minutes to 104 degrees west longitude. The aquifer underlies about 175,000 square miles in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. The Republican River Basin is about 25,000 square miles and is located in northeast Colorado, northern Kansas, and southwest Nebraska. The Republican River Basin overlies the High Plains aquifer for 87 percent of the basin area. This dataset consists of a raster of water-level changes for the High Plains aquifer, in the Republican River Basin, 2002 to 2015. This digital dataset was created using water-level measurements...

Chalk Cliffs, located 8 miles southwest of Buena Vista, Colorado, is one of the most active debris-flow areas in the state (U.S. Geological Survey). This "Child item" page includes videos of debris flows captured by one of the high-definition cameras at the monitoring site in Chalk Cliffs, CO. This camera (Wide-angle Camera) is located on the opposite side of the basin from Station 1 and has a broad view of the channel. The attached figure "station_and_camera_locations.png" provides an overview figure with the location of the four cameras and three stations along the channel. Video recording for all cameras is triggered using a rainfall threshold (Michel et al., 2019). The complete videos for all the cameras are...

The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model was used to estimate baseflow changes from historical (1984 - 2012) to thirty-year periods centered around 2030, 2050, and 2080 under warm/wet, median, and hot/dry climatic conditions. SPARROW is a spatially explicit hybrid statistical and process-based model that estimates mean baseflow over the simulation period in streams by linking monitoring data with information on watershed characteristics and baseflow sources, routed through a stream network. This USGS data release includes input and output files associated with SPARROW simulations of baseflow for 10 model runs. Model construction, calibration and...

This dataset consists of 102 magnetotelluric (MT) stations collected in 2012-2014 in the Rio Grande Rift and southern Rocky Mountains. The U.S. Geological Survey acquired these data to improve regional conductivity models of the western United States. This work is in support of studies of the effect of lithospheric modification on electrical resistivity structure and tectonic evolution of the western United States.

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 digital geospatial data set consists of potentiometric contours that show lines of equal altitude of the generalized, long-term, regional water table in the northern part of Las Animas County, Colorado. The U.S. Geological Survey developed this data set as part of a cooperative project with the Colorado Water Conservation Board.

The High Plains aquifer extends from south of about 32 degrees to almost 44 degrees north latitude and from about 96 degrees 30 minutes to 106 degrees west longitude. The aquifer underlies about 175,000 square miles in parts of Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Oklahoma, South Dakota, Texas, and Wyoming. This digital data set contains the water-level measurements from 3,092 wells measured in both predevelopment (about 1950) and 2015 and from 72 wells, which are located in New Mexico and Wyoming and were measured in predevelopment and at least one time from 2011 to 2014. These water-level measurements were used to map water-level changes, predevelopment (about 1950) to 2015. The map was reviewed for consistency...

This USGS data release consists of two geospatial raster datasets and three geospatial vector data sets of water-level data. The data sets include a raster (A1) representing water-level change from predevelopment (about 1950) to 2015; the primary vector dataset (A2) of water-level-change data of static or near-static water levels in wells measured in predevelopment and 2015 (for wells in Colorado, Kansas, Nebraska, Oklahoma, South Dakota, and Texas) and in wells measured in predevelopment and the latest available static or near-static water level from 2011 to 2015 (for wells in New Mexico and Wyoming), a supplemental vector dataset (A3) of water-level data used to manually substantiate the raster of water-level...

It includes a subset of over 60,000 existing and proposed oil and gas well locations within the State of Colorado. The well point data represent permitted locations, most of which have been drilled and completed, or drilled and abandoned. Some permitted locations were never drilled; these locations are also included...

As restoration needs for natural landscapes grow due to higher frequency and/or intensity disturbances, pressure from invasive species, and impacts resulting from changing climates, considerable time and resources are being invested to guide the development and deployment of native plant materials (NPMs). Across lower elevations of the Colorado Plateau, a region composed primarily of public land where arid conditions make restoration especially challenging, NPM coordination has been spearheaded the Bureau of Land Management’s Colorado Plateau Native Plant Program (CPNPP) since 2009. To help CPNPP achieve its vision of healthy and resilient native plant communities, the Southwest Biological Science Center (SBSC)...
