Colorado River Mile System, Grand Canyon, Arizona

These data represent the centerline and measured increments  at hundredths, tenths and whole miles, along the centerline of the Colorado River beginning at Glen Canyon Dam near Page, Arizona and terminating near the inflow s of Lake Mead in the Grand Canyon region of Arizona, USA. The centerline was digitized using Color Infra-Red (CIR) orthophotography collected in March 2000 as source information and a LiDAR-derived river shoreline representing 8,000 cubic feet per second (CFS)as the defined extent of the river. Every effort was made to follow the main flow of the river while keeping the line approximately equidistant from both shorelines. The centerline feature class has been created to more accurately map locations along the Colorado River downstream of the Glen Canyon Dam. River miles and river kilometers were developed from measurements along this line. The incremental point feature classes were derived from the centerline of the Colorado River datasets. Specifically, the points were generated from nodes extracted from the centerline endpoints of the tenth mile line feature class. The Grand Canyon Monitoring and Research Center (GCMRC) river mileage was cross-checked with commercially available river guides and always fell within one mile of the guides, usually corresponding within a half mile. Additionally, these data were subjected to internal review by GCMRC scientists and commercial boatmen with decades of river travel experience on the Colorado River.  River Mile 0 was measured from the USGS concrete gage and cableway at Lees Ferry, Arizona -- as per the Colorado River Compact of 1922 -- with negative river mile numbers used in Glen Canyon and positive river mile numbers downstream in Marble and Grand Canyons. These data were updated in March 2015 using newer ortho-rectified imagery collected in May of 2009 and 2013, both at approximately 8,000 CFS. Due to extended drought conditions that have persisted in the U.S. Southwest, lake levels have dropped dramatically, especially at Lake Mead. A stretch of the Colorado River corridor that was part of Lake Mead in year 2000 has returned to a flowing river once again, and with a different channel that has not previously existed. All changes to the original centerline are downstream of River Mile 260 which is just upstream of Quartermaster Canyon in western Grand Canyon. New river miles and river kilometers were developed from this updated centerline.

Hydrologic characteristics and water quality of headwater streams and wetlands at the Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site, Summit area, Blair and Cambria Counties, Pennsylvania, 2014-2016

This data release reports water-quantity and water-quality data collected during 2014-2016 by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and in cooperation with the National Park Service (NPS) at the Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site (ALPO) in Blair and Cambria Counties, Pennsylvania (figure 1). These data establish a base-line for current hydrologic conditions and may be helpful to evaluate potential changes in the hydrologic characteristics of streams and associated wetlands at the ALPO Summit area (figure 2). The data are summarized in the interpretive report, “Hydrologic Characteristics and Water Quality of Headwater Streams and Wetlands at the Allegheny Portage Railroad National Historic Site, Summit Area, Blair and Cambria Counties, Pennsylvania, 2014-2016” by Cravotta and others (in review).  
During 2014-2016, synoptic surveys were conducted by the USGS, with assistance from NPS, to obtain data on stream flow or stage and the corresponding water quality over a range of hydrologic conditions at 10 monitoring sites (table 1, figure 2). The synoptic surveys typically included measurements of the water level at piezometers and stream gages, plus stream flow at the gages and associated tributary, seepage, or wetland sites.   
The daily values for data on stream stage (table 2) and piezometer water-level altitude (table 3) and water temperature (table 4) plus the corresponding daily precipitation and air-temperature data for PA13 (table 5) are summarized for this data release and presented with interpretations in the report by Cravotta and others (in review).

PHREEQC program used to calculate mineral-saturation indices from groundwater quality data collected at a confined disposal facility in East Chicago, Indiana

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE), conducted a study from June 2014 through November 2014 to identify the hydrologic, chemical and microbiologic processes affecting declining pump performance and frequent pump failure at a confined disposal facility (CDF) in East Chicago, Indiana. A decline in groundwater pump performance through time is not uncommon and is generally attributed to biofouling. To better understand the causes behind declining pump performance, data were collected to describe the geochemistry and microbiology of groundwater and solids collected from extraction and monitoring wells at the CDF.
Mineral-saturation indices were computed using PHREEQC software (Parkhurst and Appelo, 2013) for groundwater samples collected from extraction wells ( EW-4B, EW-22B, and EW-14A) and monitoring wells (MW-4A, MW-11A, and MW14A) during four sampling regimes between September 9th and November 6th, 2014. In addition, mineral-saturation indices were computed for multiple hypothetical mixtures of groundwater from EW-4B, collected on October 9, 2014, and groundwater from D40, collected on June 14, 1993, to explore the effects that over-pumping and inducing shallow, oxygenated water into the well screen have on mineral precipitation.
Source code and all input/output files associated with the PHREEQC program were archived in compressed folders and are disseminated with this USGS Data Release. Documentation on the files is provided under each subdirectory in the model archive.

Hyperspectral image data acquired during a tracer dye experiment on the Kootenai River, ID, September 27, 2017

To support research on dispersion in river channels, a tracer dye experiment was performed on the Kootenai River in northern Idaho, September 25-27, 2017. This data release provides access to hyperspectral image acquired during the experiment and the supporting field-based measurements of reflectance and dye concentration are available through related data releases.  The hyperspectral image data were acquired by Quantum Spatial Inc. (QSI) using the ITRES CASI 1500H imaging system deployed from a Cessna Caravan manned aircraft from a flying height of 1000 m above ground level. Initial geometric and radiometric data processing was performed by ITRES and yielded images with 0.5 m pixels for each of 48 spectral bands from 380-1050 nm. Although a large mosaic assembled from parallel, north-south strips covering a larger portion of the Kootenai River valley was collected as part of this project, this data release focuses on a series of shorter flight lines that more directly followed the river's path during multiple passes that captured the progression of the dye plume at multiple points in time.  The image data were radiometrically calibrated to spectral radiance units of μW cm-2 sr-1 nm-1 and formatted with 16-bit signed integers in a BSQ intertleave. The sensor manufacturer, ITRES, also performed atmospheric correction of the radiance images using the ATCOR software package, which produced output images in units of apparent surface reflectance scaled by a factor of 100 (% X 100, or reflectance X 10,000).  The resulting *.bsq and assocaited *.hdr files are compatible with the ENVI software package.  The UTC time at the beginning of each flight line is included in the .csv file describing the images to allow for synthesis with in situ measurements of Rhodamine WT dye concentration made during the experiment as the hyperspectral images were being acquired.  Overall, the images and related field-based data sets were used to assess the potential for estimating tracer dye concentrations from remotely sensed data to support studies of dispersion in river channels.

Audiomagnetotelluric sounding data, station 1, Taos Plateau Volcanic Field, New Mexico, 2009

This dataset includes the audio-magnetotelluric (AMT) sounding data collected in 2009 in and near the San Luis Basin, New Mexico. The U.S. Geological Survey conducted a series of multidisciplinary studies, including AMT surveys, in the San Luis Basin to improve understanding of the hydrogeology of the Santa Fe Group and the nature of the sedimentary deposits comprising the principal groundwater aquifers of the Rio Grande rift. The shallow unconfined and the deeper confined Santa Fe Group aquifers in the San Luis Basin are the main sources of municipal water for the region. The population of the San Luis Basin region is growing rapidly and water shortfalls could have serious consequences. Future growth and land management in the region depend on accurate assessment and protection of the region's groundwater resources.
