The Bushy Park Reservoir is a relatively shallow impoundment in a semi-tropical climate and is the principal water supply for the 400,000 people of the City of Charleston and the surrounding areas including the industries in the Bushy Park Industrial Complex. Although there is an adequate supply of freshwater in the reservoir, there are taste-and-odor water-quality concerns. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) worked in cooperation with the Charleston Water System to study the hydrology and water-quality of the Bushy Park Reservoir to identify factors affecting water-quality conditions. This data release is for water-quality profiles collected with a hand-held calibrated field meter from a manned boat concurrent with...

Vertical velocities profiles were measured at 15-minute intervals at six locations in the Bushy Park Reservoir using self-contained Sontek Argonaunt XRs upward-facing acoustic Doppler current profilers (ADCPs) with a frequency of either 1,500 or 3,000 kiloHertz (kHz)). The ADCPs were deployed between December 2013 and May 2015. Up to four sites were collected concurrently. Data were processed using ViewArgonaut, a software package developed by SonTek (http://www.sontek.com/softwaredetail.php?ViewArgonaut-Software-21) to compute the average velocity vector (magnitude and direction) for each time step (15-minute) at the location.
