Mean annual water-budget components for the Island of Kauai, Hawaii, for current conditions, 2001-10 rainfall and 2001-10 land cover (version 2.0)

The shapefile associated with this metadata file represents the spatial distribution of mean annual water-budget components, in inches, for the Island of Kauai, Hawaii. The water-budget components in the shapefile were computed by a water-budget model for a scenario representative of current conditions (2001-10 rainfall and 2001-10 land cover), as described in U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report (USGS SIR) 2015-5164. The model was developed for estimating groundwater recharge and other water-budget components for each subarea of the model. The model-subarea dataset, consisting of 400,714 subareas (polygons), was generated using Esri ArcGIS software by intersecting (merging) multiple spatial datasets. Spatial datasets merged include those that characterize the spatial distribution of hydrologic and physical conditions (rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, reference evapotranspiration, direct runoff, soil type, and land cover) that the model uses to compute groundwater recharge and other water-budget components. Additional spatial datasets merged into the model-subarea dataset include those of select geographic features that assist in analyzing model results. This metadata file describes the process of merging these spatial datasets. The shapefile attribute information associated with each polygon present an estimate of mean annual rainfall, fog interception, irrigation, septic-system leachate, runoff, canopy evaporation, actual evapotranspiration, storm-drain capture, net precipitation, total evapotranspiration, recharge, and seepage from water mains, reservoirs, and cesspools. This shapefile also includes estimates of annual recharge for 2001-10 and select geographic and land-cover attributes of the polygons. Brief descriptions of the water-budget components and attributes are included in this metadata file. Refer to USGS SIR 2015-5164 for further details of the methods and sources used to determine these components and attributes.

Assessment of Endocrine Disruption in the Shenandoah River Watershed – Chemical and Biological Data from Mobile Laboratory Fish Exposures and Other Experiments Conducted during 2014, 2015, and 2016

This data release presents chemical and biological results from investigations of water quality, fish endocrine disruption, and emergent insects in the Shenandoah River Watershed (Virginia and West Virginia, USA) conducted during 2014, 2015, and 2016. Multiple sampling campaigns were conducted at sites located throughout the Shenandoah River Watershed (Table 1). The complex inorganic and organic chemical characteristics of river waters and wastewater treatment plant effluents were characterized using 21 separate analytical methods at 7 laboratories (Tables 2, 3, and 4). To assess the relations between water composition and fish endocrine disruption, 21-day mobile laboratory adult fathead minnow exposure experiments with water quality and biological characterization (water collected on day 0, 7, 14, and 21; fish collected on day 0, 7, and 21) were conducted at 4 locations from August 12 to September 1, 2014, 3 locations from May 26 to June 16, 2015, and 5 locations from July 27 to August 17, 2016 (Tables 1 and 5). To assess changes in water chemistry resulting from point and non-point sources along the flow path, targeted stream-reach sampling for water quality characterization was conducted at 14 locations from August 25 to August 27, 2015 (Tables 1 and 6). Temporal variability was assessed by time-series sampling for water quality characterization at 2 locations associated with wild fish collection from April 4 to June 14, 2016 (Tables 1 and 7). Spatial variability across the watershed was assessed by landscape-directed sampling for water-quality characterization with biological assessment at 18 locations from August 9 to August 16, 2016, and 17 locations from October 17 to October 18, 2016 (Tables 1 and 8). Biological results for the 21-day mobile-laboratory adult fathead minnow exposure experiments are presented in Table 9. Biological results for the wild smallmouth bass and white sucker sampling on April 12, 2016 are presented in Table 10. Biological results for the 96-hour larval fathead minnow exposures from July, August, and October 2016 are presented in Table 11. Results for tissue analysis of pesticides and disinfection byproducts in adult fathead minnows collected at day 21 of the August to September 2014 exposure experiments are presented in Table 12. Emergent aquatic insects, terrestrial insects, and spider sampling was conducted at 4 locations from May 21 to May 25, 2015 (Tables 13, 14, and 15) and tissue samples analyzed for pesticides (Tables 16 and 17).

Water-Quality Data Characterizing the San Antonio Segment of the Edwards Aquifer With an Emphasis on Processes Influencing Nutrient and Pesticide Concentrations and Factors Affecting Aquifer Vulnerability, 2010-2016

This data release documents water-quality data collected from April 2010 through December 2016 by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the San Antonio Water System from across the San Antonio segment of the Edwards aquifer with particular emphasis on nutrients and pesticides. Additional data regarding inorganic compounds and selected stable isotopes were obtained to provide a geochemical framework for characterizing source inputs and observed chemical changes during periods of hydrologic transition. Water-quality data were collected from surface-water and groundwater sites representing rural and urban land cover types. Data were obtained from unconfined wells in the recharge zone to characterize the rapid changes in water-level altitudes and water quality that occur during groundwater recharge. Water-quality data were also obtained from confined groundwater wells and springs to represent the deeper confined water in the aquifer system.

Marine magnetic data from twelve cruises of Pioneer and Rehoboth in 1955 and 1956 off British Columbia, Washington, Oregon, and California

This shapefile contains total‐field marine magnetic data from eleven cruises of the USCGS ship Pioneer (OSS‐31) and one cruise from the USS Rehoboth (AGS‐50) in deep water off the west coast of the United States and southern British Columbia in 1955 and 1956. Magnetic anomalies are calculated with the latest definitive geomagnetic reference field (DGRF) included in the 12th Generation of the International Geomagnetic Reference Field model (Thébault and others, 2015). The marine magnetic data from these cruises were recovered from backup tapes that archived the work of Skaer and Hey in the late 1980s (Skaer, 1989). Fernandez and Hey (1991) merged these 1950s data with magnetic data from subsequent cruises. Raw data are provided in individual‐cruise CSV files and industry standard MGD77T files, which are also available in the data release. Our recovery of the 1991 data from legacy media provides a data set that helps advance magnetic field studies in the region.
