In summer in Massachusetts, USA, preferential groundwater discharge zones are often colder than adjacent streambed areas that do not have substantial discharge. Therefore, discharge zones can efficiently be identified and mapped over space using heat as a tracer. This data release contains fiber-optic distributed temperature sensing (FO-DTS) data collected along the streambed interface of the main channel and tributaries of the upper Quashnet River, within approximately 1 km of Johns Pond, from June 14 to June 20, 2020. For these deployments a Salixa XT-DTS control unit (Salixa Ltd, Hertfordshire, UK) was used, and measurements were made over several day increments at 0.508 m linear resolution. Specific locations...

This data set summarizes measurements of water flux (specific discharge, or Darcy flux, q) made with seepage meters at 27 sites in five ponds on western Cape Cod during August–September 2015. The seepage meters consisted of the cut-off ends of 55-gallon steel drums, as described in Lee (1977) and Rosenberry and LaBaugh (2008). The seepage meters were 0.56 meter in diameter and covered a surface area on the lake bottom of about 0.25 square meter. The data table provides locational information for each seepage-measurement site, including easting and northing, in meters relative to the Massachusetts State Plane coordinate system (North American Datum of 1983); and the approximate lake-water depth, in meters. The data...

The U.S. Geological Survey, along with scientists from Rutgers University, collected water chemistry, electromagnetic, redox-potential, dissolved oxygen, water flow rate, and water temperature data along stream and river corridors in multiple sub-watersheds of the East River Science Focus Area (SFA) near Crested Butte, CO. The concept of ‘river corridor’ science recognizes that the quality of flowing surface waters is intrinsically linked to their contributing catchments through hydrologic connectivity, including lower terrestrial hillslopes, floodplains, and riparian zones. Bidirectional river-floodplain exchange in particular can be critical to basin water storage and nutrient transformation dynamics, yet floodplain...

This data set summarizes seepage rates calculated from the lake-bottom temperature data as described in child item "Calculations of lake-bottom seepage rates from vertical temperature profiles at four groundwater flow-through glacial kettle lakes, western Cape Cod, Massachusetts, 2016–18." The data table provides locational information for each site, including easting and northing, in meters relative to the Massachusetts State Plane coordinate system (North American Datum of 1983); approximate distance from shoreline, in meters; and approximate lake-water depth, in meters. The data table also provides the arithmetic average and standard deviation of temperature-derived seepage rate for each time series (in .csv...

Heat is used as a tracer for a variety of physical hydrogeological process. For ongoing studies related to groundwater/surface water exchange, temperatures of streambed sediment along the bank, in drainage ditches, and in the river were measured using handheld thermal infrared (FLIR Systems, Inc) cameras and thermocouple (Digi-Sense, Inc) probes. Thermal surveys of the Quashnet river were completed from August 14 to August 25, 2017. Zones of spatially-preferential groundwater discharge were identified as cold anomalies in summer, reflecting the influence from groundwater temperatures of approximately 11 degrees Celsius.
Streamflow wading measurements were made on March 26, 2014 within the Deer Creek watershed in St. Louis County, Missouri, following U.S. Geological Survey methods in Turnipseed and Sauer (2010). This effort occurred during a date and time void of rainfall or snowmelt runoff to properly evaluate a base-flow condition. Measuring locations were chosen based on inflow junctions (for example open channel tributaries or pipe outflows) such that main stem streamflow could be evaluated above and below the inflow. A total of 31 main stem and 25 inflow streamflow measurements were made over 9 miles along the main stem reach of Deer Creek starting at Magna Carta Drive. This data release includes a table of the streamflow...
