MODFLOW-NWT and MODPATH6 models used to simulate contributing areas in hypothetical sedimentary rock aquifers under extreme recharge events

MODFLOW-NWT groundwater flow models and MODPATH6 particle tracking simulations were 
developed to determine contributing areas (CAs) for and advective travel times to domestic wells 
under extreme recharge events in a small hypothetical watershed underlain by dipping 
sedimentary rocks. The hypothetical models are based on hydrogeologic conditions in the 
Newark Basin, located in New Jersey, New York, and Pennsylvania, USA. During extreme 
recharge events, groundwater supply wells have increased vulnerability to contaminants or 
pathogens originating at land surface that are flushed into the subsurface. Fractured-rock 
aquifers are particularly vulnerable because transport to wells can be very fast owing to 
preferential flow paths through high-permeability fractures with small effective porosities. A base 
case (BC) scenario was developed in which the flow models simulate transient extreme recharge 
events and twice daily pumping, and the particle tracking uses a porosity of 0.0001.  Alternate 
transient scenarios were developed in which the models have fewer vertical fractures (FewVF), 
increased recharge (Rch6.4), or larger effective porosity (Por.001), and an alternate steady-state 
scenario (StSt)  was developed that uses long-term average recharge and pumping rates. For the 
BC and StSt scenarios, MODFLOW-NWT simulations were run for 48 different pumping well 
locations (24 shallow well locations and 24 mid-depth well locations). For the FewVF and Rch6.4 
scenarios, MODFLOW-NWT simulations were run for the 24 mid-depth well locations. For all 
scenarios, MODPATH simulations were conducted to define the CAs, the travel times from the 
CAs to the well, and the arrival times at the well. Transient simulations used hourly releases of 
particles at the water table throughout the extreme recharge event. The StSt scenario had a 
single release at the beginning of the simulations.  Software tools are provided in this data 
release to post-process the MODPATH results and produce figures similar to those in the 
companion journal article (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13169).  This USGS data release 
contains all the input and selected output files for the simulations described in the companion 
journal article (https://doi.org/10.1111/gwat.13169).

MODFLOW-NWT model used to simulate the potential effects of out-of-basin transfers for the Rush Springs aquifer in the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma Tribal jurisdictional area, western Oklahoma

A previously published MODFLOW 2005 groundwater model (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20185136) 
of the Rush Springs aquifer was modified to assess the effects of groundwater withdrawals rates 
on spring discharge, streamflow, and groundwater availability pertaining to the Rush Springs aquifer 
in and near the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma Tribal jurisdictional area. Increases in industrial and public 
water supply needs have led to increased development of water resources within the Rush Springs 
aquifer. As new areas within the aquifer are developed, increased water withdrawals may result in 
decreases in available water resources and conflicts among water users. The Caddo Nation of 
Oklahoma is concerned about permitted water transfers from the Rush Springs aquifer in Caddo 
County to areas outside of this aquifer. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with 
the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma and Bureau of Indian Affairs, assessed four groundwater-withdrawal 
scenarios and their effects on the Rush Springs aquifer on the Caddo Nation of Oklahoma Tribal 
jurisdictional area. For the previously published calibrated model, groundwater flow was simulated 
from 1979 through 2015. In this study, groundwater flow simulations were extended through 2035. 
The period from 2016 through 2035 is referred to as the 20-year projections. The numerical model 
contains one steady-state stress period, 444 monthly transient stress periods and 20 annual stress 
periods. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files for the simulations 
described in the associated model documentation report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20225044).

Text Files of the DGPS Navigation Logged with HYPACK Software on U.S. Geological Survey Cruise 2013-005-FA from June 17 to June 20, 2013

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), is producing detailed geologic maps of the coastal sea floor. Bathymetric data, originally collected by NOAA for charting purposes, provide a fundamental framework for research and management activities along this part of Block Island Sound, show the composition and terrain of the seabed, and provide information on sediment transport and benthic habitat. During June 2013, bottom photographs and surficial sediment data were acquired as part of a ground-truth reconnaissance survey of this area. Interpretations were derived from the multibeam-echosounder, sedimentary, and photographic data collected in Block Island Sound. For more information on the ground-truth survey see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2013-005-FA.

Point shapefile of processed continuous resistivity profiling data below the sediment water interface collected in the Indian River Bay, Delaware, on April 15, 2010, on U.S. Geological Survey Field Activity 2010-006-FA (MRGAPR15_ALLXYZRES.SHP, Geographic, WGS 84)

A geophysical survey to delineate the fresh-saline groundwater interface and associated sub-bottom sedimentary structures beneath Indian River Bay, Delaware, was carried out in April 2010. This included surveying at higher spatial resolution in the vicinity of a study site at Holts Landing, where intensive onshore and offshore studies were subsequently completed. The total length of continuous resistivity profiling (CRP) survey lines was 145 kilometers (km), with 36 km of chirp seismic lines surveyed around the perimeter of the bay. Medium-resolution CRP surveying was performed using a 50-meter streamer in a bay-wide grid. Results of the surveying and data inversion showed the presence of many buried paleochannels beneath Indian River Bay that generally extended perpendicular from the shoreline in areas of modern tributaries, tidal creeks, and marshes. An especially wide and deep paleochannel system was imaged in the southeastern part of the bay near White Creek. Many paleochannels also had high-resistivity anomalies corresponding to low-salinity groundwater plumes associated with them, likely due to the presence of fine-grained estuarine mud and peats in the channel fills that act as submarine confining units. Where present, these units allow plumes of low-salinity groundwater that was recharged onshore to move beyond the shoreline, creating a complex fresh-saline groundwater interface in the subsurface. The properties of this interface are important considerations in construction of accurate coastal groundwater flow models. These models are required to help predict how nutrient-rich groundwater, recharged in agricultural watersheds such as this one, makes its way into coastal bays and impacts surface water quality and estuarine ecosystems. For more information on the survey conducted for this project, see https://cmgds.marine.usgs.gov/fan_info.php?fan=2010-006-FA.

14BIM05_SSS_50cm_WGS84_UTM16N_Tile3: The 0.50-meter sample resolution of the side-scan sonar data collected in 2014 near Breton National Wildlife Refuge, Louisiana. This tile is three of four for this dataset.

As part of the Barrier Island Monitoring Project, scientists from the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) St. Petersburg Coastal and Marine Science Center conducted nearshore geophysical surveys off Breton and Gosier Islands, Louisiana, in July and August of 2014. To assist the United States Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS) with restoration planning efforts, the USGS was tasked with answering fundamental questions about the physical environment of the southern Chandeleur Islands, including the geology, morphology, and oceanography. Baseline data needed to answer these questions was either insufficient or missing in the area.  The USGS conducted a comprehensive geologic investigation in the summer of 2014 by collecting geophysical and sedimentological data.
Breton Island, located at the southern end of the Chandeleur Island chain, Louisiana, was recognized as a natural and globally important nesting sanctuary for several bird species and was established as the Breton National Wildlife Refuge (NWR) in 1904.  The aerial extent of Breton Island has diminished 90% since 1920.  Land loss is attributed to ongoing relative sea-level rise, diminished sediment supply, and storm impacts.  The bird population on Breton Island has also declined over the years, most notably after Hurricane George in 1998 and Hurricane Katrina in 2015, which completely submerged the island.  Despite the decreasing habitable acreage, migratory seabirds continue to return and utilize Breton Island.  To prevent the island from being completely submerged in the future and to protect, stabilize, and provide more nesting and foraging areas for the birding population, the USFWS is proposing a restoration effort to rebuild Breton Island to its pre-Katrina footprint.
This Data Series serves as an archive of processed interferometric-swath, single-beam bathymetry, and side-scan sonar data collected in the nearshore of Breton and Gosier Islands, NWR, Louisiana.  The data were collected during two USGS cruises (USGS Field Activity Numbers 2014-314-FA and 2014-317-FA) in July and August 2014. Geographic Information System data products include a 100 meter-cell-size interpolated bathymetry grid surface, trackline maps, and point data files. Additional files include error analysis maps, Field Activity Collection System logs, and formal Federal Geographic Data Committee (FGDC) metadata.

LANDFIRE 2016 Remap Annual Disturbance AK 2015

LANDFIRE's (LF) Annual Disturbance (Dist) product provides temporal and spatial information related to landscape change. Dist depicts areas that have experienced a disturbance within a given year of 4.5 hectares (11 acres) or larger, along with cause and severity. Information sources include national fire mapping programs such as Monitoring Trends in Burn Severity (MTBS), Burned Area Reflectance Classification (BARC), and Rapid Assessment of Vegetation Condition after Wildfire (RAVG), local user/agency contributed data (LF Events Geodatabase), and remotely sensed Landsat imagery. Composite Landsat image pairs from the current year, prior year, and following year are spectrally compared to determine where change occurred and its corresponding severity. Additionally, vegetation indices (Normalized Differenced Vegetation Index [NDVI] and Normalized Burn Ratio [NBR]) serve as inputs into the Multi-Index Integrated Change Algorithm (MIICA) (Jin et al. 2013); MIICA outputs and differenced products (e.g., dNDVI and dNBR) are used to locate change.  Predictive modeling based on the previous 10 years of disturbance data provides an additional dataset useful for locating disturbance.  Image analysts use the aforementioned datasets separately or in combination to isolate true change from false change (e.g., change caused by stark differences in phenology rather than a true disturbance event). The accuracy of the final product is often related to the quality of the Landsat image composite.  Areas with persistent cloud cover are particularly challenging (e.g., the northeast US). Fire caused disturbances sourced from MTBS may contain data gaps where clouds, smoke, water or Landsat Seven SLC-off stripes exist. Models trained from pre-fire and post-fire Landsat data are used to fill the gaps. The result is continuous severity and extent information for all MTBS fire disturbances. MTBS pixels derived from gap filling techniques, such as modeling, are noted as such in their corresponding attribute table. Smaller fires that do not meet the size criteria set forth by MTBS) may be attributed as a Burned Area Essential Climate Variable (BAECV), which are only produced for the lower 48 states. Causality and severity information assigned to a disturbance are prioritized by source, with the highest priorities reserved for fire mapping programs (MTBS, BARC and RAVG) followed by user-contributed events contained in the LF Events Geodatabase, and lastly, Landsat image based change.

Ground-water level contours for the unconfined aquifer in the Wood River Valley, south-central Idaho, representing conditions during October 2006.

The entire population of the Wood River Valley depends on ground water for domestic supply, 
either from domestic or municipal-supply wells, rapid population growth since the 1970s has 
raised concerns about the continued availability of ground and surface water to support existing 
uses and streamflow.  To help address these concerns, ground- and surface-water conditions 
in the area before and during the population growth that started in the 1970s was evaluated.  
This dataset helps analyze trends in ground-water data, documents 2006 hydrologic conditions, 
and is used to compare 2006 and historic ground-water data of the Wood River Valley of 
south-central Idaho.  It represents ground-water conditions in the unconfined aquifer during 
October 2006 constructed from 88 water-level measurements in the main valley and 8 tributary 
canyons.

Aerial photo mosaic of the Miami River, Tillamook basin, Oregon in 1939

The Tillamook Bay subbasins and Nehalem River basins encompass 1,369 and 2,207 respective square 
kilometers of northwestern Oregon and drain to the Pacific Ocean. The Tillamook, Trask, Wilson, Kilchis, 
and Miami Rivers flow into Tillamook Bay near the towns of Tillamook and Garibaldi. The Wilson and 
Trask River basins cover the largest areas (500 and 451 square kilometers, respectively) whereas the 
Tillamook and Kilchis Rivers encompass similar sized areas (156 and 169 square kilometers, respectively) 
and the Miami River the smallest area (94 square kilometers). In cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps 
of Engineers, the U.S. Geological Survey completed a reconnaissance-level assessment of channel 
condition and bed-material transport relevant to the permitting of in-stream gravel extraction along the 
major alluvial portions of six river systems, including the lowermost 14.1 km of the Tillamook River, 
16.3 km of the Trask River, 15.2 km of the Wilson River, 7.8 km of the Kilchis River, 11.6 km of the 
Miami River, and 31.4 km of the Nehalem River. To support these analyses, digital channel maps 
were produced to depict channel and floodplain conditions in the Tillamook Bay sub-basins and 
Nehalem River basin from different time periods. GIS layers defining the wetted channel and bar 
features and channel centerline in the study area were developed for four time periods: 1939, 1967, 
2005, and 2009. For this project, the active channel was defined as area typically inundated during 
annual high flows, and includes the low-flow channel as well as side channels, islands, and channel-
flanking gravel bars. The wetted channel and bar feature datasets were developed by digitizing from 
aerial photographs. Aerial photographs from 1939 and 1967 were scanned, rectified, and mosaicked 
for this project (See metadata for each photograph set for more information on the rectification process 
and resolution of each dataset). Digital orthophotographs from 2005 and 2009 are publicly available.
