The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the West Virginia Water Gaging Council have proposed an expansion to the existing West Virginia streamgage network. As of December 18, 2018, the USGS operates a network of 149 real-time streamgages in West Virginia. This geospatial dataset provides the approximate locations of 39 proposed streamgages. These streamgages include 31 presently operated by the West Virginia Division of Homeland Security and Emergency Management and 8 new streamgages. These streamgages may be relocated depending on access and stream conditions, and data users who need precise locations of these streamgages may contact the USGS office in Charleston, West Virginia.
This child item contains files representing Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) processing masks which excluded regions of invalid velocities from the PIV results. Masks typically are used to screen out velocities or prevent the creation of velocities for regions of an image where computed PIV velocities would be nonsensical or invalid. For example, near or on the channel banks, where a tree overhangs the channel, or the presence of a boat or other object in the water. By using masks, these regions can be excluded from analysis. The PIVLab software allows for the designation of a rectangular Region of Interest (ROI). For five of the field sites, which were located at engineered canals, a rectangular ROI was sufficient...
Sea lamprey (Petromyzon marinus) control is achieved in tributaries to the Laurentian Great Lakes by applying lamprey-specific pesticides (lampricide) to habitats containing larval sea lamprey. Lampricide treatments are cheaper and more effective in watersheds where dams block runs of adult sea lamprey and hence limit the distribution of sea lamprey larvae. However, dams impound water and those without fishways block movement of valued fishes, outcomes that are untenable for some stakeholders. Here, an alternative to physical barriers was tested to block adult sea lamprey; a portable and seasonal non-physical barrier of pulsed direct current that does not impound water, allows fish passage when not operated, and...

The digital flood-inundation maps included in this data release were developed for a 16.4-mile reach of the Yellow River from 0.5-mile upstream of River Drive to Centerville Highway (Georgia State Route 124), Gwinnett County, Georgia (Ga.) to depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (stages) at two U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) streamgages in the mapped area. The maps for the 9.0-mile reach from 0.5-mile upstream of River Drive to Stone Mountain Highway (US Route 78) are referenced to the Yellow River, near Snellville, Georgia (Ga.; station 02206500), and the maps for the 7.4-mile reach from Stone Mountain Highway to Centerville Highway are referenced to the...
Dataset includes the analysis results of 49 inorganic chemical elements bound to suspended-sediment particles below Paonia Reservoir during a sediment release in September 2017. Suspended-sediment samples were collected at U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) station number 385626107212000 by following data collection procedures and protocols in Edwards and Glysson (1999). The samples were freeze-dried after collection and then decomposed using a mixture of nitric, hydrofluoric, and perchloric acids. The dried residue after acid digestion was analyzed by atomic absorption spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry following procedures and protocols in Taggart (2002). Reference samples of flue gas desulfurization...

There are 100 traces in the simulation. This metadata file is only associated with the first trace (Trace_1). This directory contains a folder for each of the 100 streamflow time series and are identified as Trace_1, Trace_2, and so on. Within each trace file is a 100-year long time series of streamflow, in cubic meters per second, for each of the 26 sites. In column A, there is a row number, column B is the date of the stochastic streamflow occurrence, column C is a time assignment required for HEC-ResSim to run, and column D contains “Streamflow_cms” and is streamflow in cubic meters per second.
The primary goal of the Comprehensive Everglades Restoration Plan is to restore natural water flow through the Everglades. An approach known as decompartmentalization, which involves the removal of levees, canals, and other barriers to flow, has been suggested to aid in the restoration. In the region known as Water Conservation Area 3 (WCA-3), the L-67A and L-67C canals and levees, which bisect WCA-3 into WCA-3A to the north and WCA-3B to the south, are major barriers to natural flow. A test project for the decompartmentalization of WCA-3 has been initiated through the WCA-3 Decompartmentalization and Sheetflow Enhancement Physical Model (DPM). This flow-release test involves reconnecting WCA-3A and WCA-3B through...

Discharge measurements made at U.S. Geological Survey Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal near Lemont, Illinois, streamgage (05536890) between 2005 and 2013 were reviewed and manually processed using QRev v3.12. Discharge was measured using Acoustic Doppler Current Profilers (ADCPs) deployed from a moving boat according to the procedures described in Mueller and others (2013). QRev generates an extensible markup language file (XML) that provides information on measurement characteristics (Mueller, 2016a,b). Data from these XML files were exported into a comma-separated values (CSV) table to create a summary of measurement information. This CSV table also indicates which measurements were used in the development of index-velocity...

Peak-flow frequency analysis is crucial in various water-resources management applications, including floodplain management and critical structure design. Federal guidelines for peak-flow frequency analyses, provided in Bulletin 17C, assume that the statistical properties of the hydrologic processes driving variability in peak flows do not change over time and so the frequency distribution of annual peak flows is stationary. Better understanding of long-term climatic persistence and further consideration of potential climate and land-use changes have caused the assumption of stationarity to be reexamined. This data release contains input data and results of a study investigating hydroclimatic trends in peak streamflow...
