AndreaBozzo/ceres-open-data-index huggingface dataset:
Nutrient balances, river loads, and a counterfactual analysis to determine drivers of Mississippi River nitrogen and phosphorus loads between 1975 and 2017

This dataset consists of input and output datasets for estimating nitrogen and phosphorus balances for the Mississippi River Basin from 1950 to 2017. The N balance was calculated as the difference between inputs (fertilizer, manure, wastewater treatment facility effluent, N20 fixation, and atmospheric deposition) and outputs (crop uptake and removal in harvest and gaseous emissions to the atmosphere). The P balance was calculated as the difference between inputs (fertilizer, manure, wastewater treatment facility effluent, and weathering) minus outputs (P harvested and removed in crops, hay, and pasture).

Model input and output from Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) simulation of the Red River basin 1981-2016

This data release contains input and output data from hydrologic simulations of streamflow conditions in the Red River Basin (RRB) using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS). The RRB PRMS model predicts components of the water balance at 3065 hydrologic response units (HRU) and streamflow for 1614 stream segments within the model domain for the simulation period 1981 to 2016. The data release contains two shapefiles: (1) a map of HRUs in the model domain and (2) a map of stream segments in the model domain. In addition to the shapefiles, the data release includes files containing the calibrated parameters of the RRB PRMS model as well as model inputs and outputs. The model inputs are (1) climate data, (2) measured streamflow data, (3) water-use data, and (4) land-cover change data. Model outputs include daily time step predictions of groundwater flow, total outflow, surface runoff, and subsurface flow components for each stream segment in the model domain. The model also produces daily estimates of groundwater flow, precipitation, solar radiation, surface runoff, subsurface flow, and outflow; the daily output is aggregated to monthly mean values for each HRU in the model domain. This data release accompanies the documentation of the RRB PRMS model in a U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report by Roland (2023).

Harrison County Lake near Bethany, Missouri, 2019

Water supply lakes are the primary source of water for many communities in northern and western Missouri.  Therefore, accurate and up-to-date estimates of lake capacity are important for managing and predicting adequate water supply. Many of the water supply lakes in Missouri were previously surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 2000s (Richards, 2013) and in 2013 (Huizinga, 2014); however, years of potential sedimentation may have resulted in reduced water storage capacity. Periodic bathymetric surveys are useful to update the area/capacity table and to determine changes in the bathymetric surface.
Harrison County Lake is a water supply lake used by the city of Bethany in northwestern Missouri. The surface area of Harrison County Lake is about 485 acres at the flood pool level of the emergency spillway (970.8 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988).  No previous bathymetric survey has been completed at this lake.  In September 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the City of Bethany, completed a bathymetric survey of Harrison County Lake using a multibeam echosounder.  The water-surface elevation during the survey was about 960.79 feet. Supplemental data were collected in shallow areas using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on a remote-controlled vessel equipped with a differential global positioning system (DGPS). These data can be combined with light detection and ranging (lidar) data to prepare a bathymetric map and a surface area and capacity table for the lake.
The gridded bathymetric point data (HarrisonCoLake2019_bathy_pts.zip) were computed on a 1.64-foot (0.50-meter) grid using the Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator (CUBE) method, which is used as the source of points to create the bathymetric surface.
Bathymetric quality-assurance data (HarrisonCoLake2019_QA_raw.zip) were collected to evaluate the vertical accuracy of the gridded bathymetric point data.
Each of these two zip files contains a shapefile with an attribute table. Attribute/column labels of each table are described in the "Entity and attribute" section of the metadata file.

Redox related water-chemistry results and redox category and process classifications in samples of groundwater from the Great Miami buried-valley aquifer, southwestern Ohio, 1999, 2000, 2019, and 2020

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Miami Conservancy District, Dayton, Ohio, investigated concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in groundwater from the Great Miami buried-valley aquifer (GM-BVA) of southwestern Ohio in 2019 and 2020. Data in this release include redox (reduction/oxidation) related water-chemistry determinations from groundwater sampled previously in 1999 and 2000 and from groundwater sampled by this study in 2019 and 2020 that include concentrations of dissolved oxygen, sulfate, several nitrogen species, manganese, and iron. The 23 wells used for the sampling were identified and sampled previously by the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment Program to assess concentrations of a variety of inorganic and organic contaminants in the GM-BVA. Sampled wells and prior data were from parts of the GM-BVA in Butler, Champaign, Clark, Greene, Hamilton, Miami, Montgomery, Shelby and Warren counties in the Great Miami River, Little Miami River, and Whitewater River Basins. Classifications of redox category and redox process derived from a procedure implemented by Jurgens and others (2009) and applied to these water chemistry determinations are included in the data release. The redox related water-chemistry determinations as originally derived are also provided with the Excel® workbook published by Jurgens and others (2009). Data in the attached Excel® workbook with dissolved oxygen concentrations that were less than the practical limit of quantitation or concentrations of nitrate plus nitrite, ammonia, manganese or iron that were less than the reporting limit for an analysis were set equal to the practical limit of quantitation or the reporting limit. A redox process was not identified for one analysis that lacked an iron analytical result.

Concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances in groundwater from the Great Miami buried-valley aquifer, southwestern Ohio, 2019–20

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the Miami Conservancy District, Dayton, Ohio, in 2019 and 2020 collected and analyzed groundwater samples to describe concentrations of per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) in the Great Miami buried-valley aquifer (GM-BVA) of southwestern Ohio. Data in this release include results from PFAS analysis of groundwater samples from 23 wells from parts of the GM-BVA in Butler, Champaign, Clark, Greene, Hamilton, Miami, Montgomery, Shelby and Warren Counties within the Great Miami River, Little Miami River and Whitewater River Basins. The 23 wells used for PFAS sampling were identified and sampled previously by the USGS National Water-Quality Assessment Program to assess the occurrence of a variety of inorganic and organic contaminants in the GM-BVA. To understand the comparability of PFAS analytical results generated through different adaptations of the EPA 537.1 method, groundwater samples were collected by this study and analyzed at a contract laboratory using one proprietary adaptation (method 1; Bureau Veritas, Mississauga, Ontario, Canada) and were collected from the same wells and analyzed at a different contract laboratory by a slightly different proprietary adaptation (method 2; SGS North America Inc., Orlando, Florida).

King City Reservoir system at King City, Missouri, 2019

Water supply lakes are the primary source of water for many communities in northern and western Missouri.  Therefore, accurate and up-to-date estimates of lake capacity are important for managing and predicting adequate water supply. Many of the water supply lakes in Missouri were previously surveyed by the U.S. Geological Survey in the early 2000s (Richards, 2013) and in 2013 (Huizinga, 2014); however, years of potential sedimentation may have resulted in reduced water storage capacity. Periodic bathymetric surveys are useful to update the area/capacity table and to determine changes in the bathymetric surface.
The King City Reservoir system is a set of water supply lakes used by the city of King City in northwestern Missouri. The three main lakes have a combined surface area of about 48 acres at the flood pool level of the emergency spillway (approximately 1,038.2 feet above the North American Datum of 1988 for the lower and middle lakes, and approximately 1,053.2 feet above the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 for the upper lake). A previous bathymetric survey had been completed at this lake in July 2000 with a single-beam echosounder, but was not reported.  In September 2019, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Missouri Department of Natural Resources and the City of King City, completed a bathymetric survey of the King City Reservoir system using a multibeam echosounder.  The water-surface elevations during the survey were about 1051.24, 1035.36, and 1034.74 feet in the upper, middle, and lower lakes, respectively. The echosounder data can be combined with light detection and ranging (lidar) data to prepare a bathymetric map and a surface area and capacity table for the lakes.
The gridded bathymetric point data (KingCityRes2019_bathy_pts.zip) were computed on a 0.82-foot (0.25-meter) grid using the Combined Uncertainty and Bathymetry Estimator (CUBE) method, which is used as the source of points to create the bathymetric surface for the three lakes.
Bathymetric quality-assurance data (KingCityRes2019_QA_raw.zip) were collected to evaluate the vertical accuracy of the gridded bathymetric point data.
Each of these two zip files contains a shapefile with an attribute table. Attribute/column labels of each table are described in the "Entity and attribute" section of the metadata file.
