Site 16 Missouri River Bathymetry and Velocimetry Data at Structure K0999 on Missouri State Highway 41 at Miami, Missouri, July 2011 through May 2017

These data are high-resolution bathymetry (riverbed elevation) and depth-averaged velocities in ASCII format, generated from hydrographic and velocimetric surveys of the Missouri River near Structure K0999 on Missouri State Highway 41 at Miami, Missouri, in 2011, 2013, and 2017.  Hydrographic data were collected using a high-resolution multibeam echosounder mapping system (MBMS), which consists of a multibeam echosounder (MBES) and an inertial navigation system (INS) mounted on a marine survey vessel.  Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned survey lines distributed throughout the reach.  Data collection software integrated and stored the depth data from the MBES and the horizontal and vertical position and attitude data of the vessel from the INS in real time.  Data processing required computer software to extract bathymetry data from the raw data files and to summarize and map the information.  Velocity data were collected using an acoustic Doppler current profiler (ADCP) mounted on a survey vessel equipped with a differential global positioning system (DGPS).  Data were collected as the vessel traversed the river along planned transect lines distributed throughout the reach. Velocity data were processed using the Velocity Mapping Toolbox (Parsons and others, 2013), and smoothed using neighboring nodes.

Walleye (Sander vitreus) egg deposition and spawning habitat suitability in the Maumee River, OH (2014-2015)

Tributaries support spawning habitats for three of the four major sub-stocks of Lake Erie walleye (Sander vitreus). Despite a history of anthropogenic degradation and the extirpation of other potamodromous species, the Maumee River, OH continues to support one of the largest fish migrations in the Laurentian Great Lakes. To determine if spawning habitat availability and quality could limit production of Maumee River walleye, a habitat suitability model based on river bottom substrates and water depth was created for the lower 51 km of the Maumee River, and the distribution and relative abundance of walleye eggs deposited in a 25-km stretch of river were assessed. 
Walleye eggs were collected using a diaphragm pump at 7-10 sites two to three times per week from 1 April–7 May 2014 and from 24 March–5 May 2015, beginning shortly after ice out and continuing until early May when spawning ceased. To quantify spawning habitat within the Maumee River, a side-scan sonar unit and a bow-mounted transducer were used to identify river bottom substrate types. Substrate composition was visually delineated by drawing polygons around substrate patches and assigning the dominant substrate classification to each polygon in GIS software. Visual substrate surveys were conducted throughout the study area during June and September 2014–2016 and were used to inform the substrate classifications made by the side-scan sonar. Water depth and water velocity were modeled in the hydraulic modeling program HEC-RAS based on topographic data and water level gage data. Known walleye spawning habitat preferences from peer-reviewed literature were used to assign habitat suitability index (HSI) values from two different HSI models to substrate, modeled water depth, and modeled water velocity for spawning adult walleye, and  habitat suitability maps were generated.

Western Pond Turtle (Actinemys marmorata) Monitoring and Assessment Data from the Trinity River, California (2013-2017)

A key objective of the Trinity River Restoration Program (TRRP) is maintaining and enhancing other wildlife populations through the restoration initiatives. For herpetological species, the foothill yellow-legged frog and western pond turtle have been identified as important species on which to focus monitoring efforts due to their status as California state-listed Species of Concern. As a result, considerable prior effort has focused on understanding the distribution and demography of these species, both on the main Trinity River and on the South Fork Trinity River as a comparison population (potentially representing pre-dam population status). These studies have highlighted differences in life-history traits of each species between the two rivers that may be due to conditions of the main Trinity River. For western pond turtle these traits include slow growth rates, smaller adult sizes, lower annual fecundity, and later age at maturity in comparison to South Fork Trinity River and other western pond turtles in the region. For foothill yellow-legged frogs, densities of egg masses are an order of magnitude lower on the main Trinity River in comparison to the South Fork Trinity River. Egg masses on the main Trinity River are also vulnerable to scour depending on the timing and volume of water released from the dam. TRRP is working to address these issues by including consideration of the impacts of water management decisions on these species, as well as taking habitat requirements into account in their channel rehabilitation work that is geared towards improving salmonid rearing habitat.

Experimental Results for Heat-Pulse Flowmeter

The heat-pulse flowmeter (HH) used in this testing is a KVA Model 200 system. The instrument computes groundwater vectors from heat arrival and decay in an array of four thermistors that surround a single heat source. An external compass attached to the top of the deployment system is used to orient the flowmeter in the borehole. The HH measured groundwater velocity and flow in the x-y plane. Fuzzy packers were filled with 0.08-inch diameter glass beads for all tests. The HH thermistors were centered over the simulated fracture during measurements. One to four measurements were made with the HH for each simulated flow.

Experimental Results for Colloidal Borescope Flowmeter

The colloidal borescope flowmeter (HB) used in this testing was developed by AquaVISION, Llc. The instrument employs a charge-coupled device camera, an optical magnification lens (140x), and a light-emitting diode (LED) illumination source to visually track neutrally buoyant colloids (approximately 1-5 microns) moving horizontally through the borehole. The device measured groundwater velocity and flow direction in the x-y (horizontal) plane. The HB magnetometer was checked with a compass to assure proper instrument orientation before deployment into the simulators. Borescope data were collected for each flow condition for a period of at least 30 minutes. After data collection, borescope data were inspected for anomalous periods of record that were caused by disturbances such as a vibration in the laboratory. Anomalous periods were deleted before computing the velocity and flow direction.

Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network 1985-2018: Short- and long-term trends

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network (RIM) stations for the period 1985 through 2018. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on  Time, Discharge, and Season).  The load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the RIM watersheds.  To determine the trend in loads, the annual load results are flow normalized to integrate out the year-to-year variability in river discharge.  The trend in load is derived from the flow-normalized load timeseries and represents the change in load resulting from changes in sources, delays associated with storage or transport of historical inputs, and (or) implemented management actions.

Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network 1985-2018: Average annual yields

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in major rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring Network (RIM) stations for the period 1985 through 2018. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on  Time, Discharge, and Season).  Yields (represents the mass of constituent transported from a unit area of a given watershed) are used to compare the export loads from one basin to another.  Yield results are obtained by dividing the annual load (pounds) of a given constituent by the respective watershed area (acres) from which the constituent was transported.  Yield results presented represent the average annual per-acre loads of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment exported from each of the Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring stations for two possible time periods:  2009-2018 (10 year average yield) and 2014-2018 (5 year average yield).

Summary of Decadal No-Flow Fractions and Decadal L-Moments of Nonzero Streamflow Flow-Duration Curves for National Hydrography Dataset, Version 2 Catchments in the Southeastern United States, 1950 - 2010, at USGS Streamflow-Gaging Stations

Censored and uncensored generalized additive models (GAMs) are developed from 955 U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations (streamgages) to predict decadal statistics of streamflow. The streamgages are located on streams draining to the Gulf of Mexico. Decadal statistics include no-flow fractions and selected L-moments of nonzero streamflow for six decades (1950s—2000s). These statistics represent metrics of decadal flow-duration curves (dFDCs) derived from about 10 million daily mean streamflows. The L-moments include the mean, coefficient of L-variation, and the third through fifth L-moment ratios. The models are fit using watershed properties such as basin area and slope, decadal precipitation and temperature and decadal values of flood storage and urban development percentages. The GAMs then estimate decadal statistics for 8,988 prediction locations (stream reaches) coincident with outlets of level-12 hydrologic unit codes. Both the entire dataset (whole model) and leave-one-watershed-out model results are reported. No-flow fractions are censored data and Tobit extensions to GAMs are effective in estimation of ephemeral streamflow conditions. Uncensored GAMs conversely were used for estimation of the L-moments. The R language was used to pull and process the streamflow data, and the scripts can be found online at https://code.usgs.gov/water/restore/fdclmrpplo.
