Estimated public-supply water withdrawals in Puerto Rico, 2019

This data release consists of Microsoft Excel workbooks related to a cooperative project between the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) and the Puerto Rico Aqueduct and Sewer Authority (PRASA) to estimate public-supply water withdrawals for the year 2019. 
Daily raw-water inflow volume to each PRASA water-treatment plant and water pumped from PRASA public-supply wells on the island in 2019, as well as coordinate information for these facilities were provided by PRASA. The raw data are not publicly available owing to restrictions (sensitivity concern). Contact PRASA directly for more information. Per capita water use derived from domestic-delivery data for 2016 was used to estimate withdrawals from non-PRASA community water supply systems for 2019 due to The lack of of domestic-delivery data for this year. This choice does not likely introduce major errors in the total island-wide water withdrawals as non-PRASA withdrawals are on the order of 1–2 percent of the total withdrawals. The total annual volume withdrawn from PRASA and non-PRASA public-supply wells and surface-water intakes was aggregated by municipality and PRASA public water system identification (PWSID) to obtain total surface-water and groundwater withdrawals for PRASA and non-PRASA systems.
In 2019, the total amount of public-supply water withdrawn in Puerto Rico was estimated at 590 million gallons per day (Mgal/d) from freshwater sources. Surface-water withdrawals accounted for 527 Mgal/d (89 percent) and groundwater withdrawals accounted for 63 Mgal/d (11 percent).
Disclaimer: In estimating public-supply withdrawals for 2016 and prior years, surface-water withdrawals for each PRASA water treatment plant (WTP) were assigned to a single intake location. For 2017-20, surface-water withdrawals for each PRASA water treatment plant have been split up across multiple intakes based on information provided by PRASA in 2022. This may have affected the total withdrawals by municipality and PWSID. For this reason, we discourage evaluating trends and making comparisons at the municipality and PWSID level between 2017–20 and previous years.

Data from Lab Experiments to Support Interim Guidance for Performing Calibration Checks on the Sequoia Scientific LISST-ABS Acoustic Backscatter Sensor

As part of its mission to unify and standardize research and development activities of Federal agencies involved in fluvial sediment studies, the Federal Interagency Sedimentation Project (FISP) partnered with the USGS Wyoming-Montana (WY-MT) Water Science Center to examine the potential for use of standard, low-tech laboratory equipment to perform calibration checks on the LISST-ABS sensor (hereinafter ‘ABS sensor’) on long-term deployments.  The ABS sensor was developed by Sequoia Scientific (Sequoia) as an alternative to turbidity sensors for monitoring suspended sediment concentrations (SSCs) in surface waters. The lab experiments were intended to provide USGS scientists and the public with interim guidance to assist in operation and maintenance of the ABS sensor.
The apparatus components chosen for the lab experiments consisted of a benchtop stir plate, 2-liter (L) glass beaker, stir bar, and benchtop stand. Three ABS sensors were used in each step of the lab experiments, and a fourth was used for the field deployment. The data contained in this data release represent raw readings recorded from the ABS sensors over a range of sediment concentrations in units of milligrams per liter (mg/L). The readings were obtained via a software interface between a notebook computer attached via to the ABS sensors by communication The software interface was developed by Sequoia and sold alongside the sensors. The first five lines of each data file represent a header that contains additional, non-quantitative information including the serial number of the sensor being used to take readings.
The data contained in this data release were recorded during tests of accuracy and repeatability for different combinations of stir bar and sediment standards. The term ‘sediment standards’ refers to sediments in which the nominal diameters of the particles in a mixture are known with reasonable precision. For the accuracy tests, concentration test intervals for sediment standards were chosen to represent a standard range of concentrations 1.1, 3.2, 10.4, 100, 1,000, and 10,000 mg/L. For the repeatability tests, concentration test intervals for particle standards were chosen to replicate Sequoia Scientific’s calibration intervals: 1.1, 10.4, 100, 1,000, and 10,000 mg/L. The data are organized by sediment standard, sensor serial number, concentration, and stir bar type. The data contained in this data release were used to compute standard statistics and errors and create figures 5 through 8, and tables 4 through 10 in the accompanying Open-File Report (OFR) which describes the results of the laboratory experiments.

Groundwater-flow model of the Wet Mountain Valley alluvial aquifer, Custer and Fremont Counties, Colorado

The U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Upper Arkansas Water Conservancy District, created a numerical groundwater-flow model for the Wet Mountain Valley alluvial aquifer using the finite-difference MODFLOW code with the Newton formulation solver. This numerical groundwater-flow model simulates water-budget components, groundwater and surface-water interactions, and evaluates the potential effects of aquifer storage and recovery through an added recharge simulation. The numerical model was spatially discretized into two layers with 261 rows and 133 columns of square cells at 250 meters on each side, for a total of 20,007 active cells. The model was rotated by 36 degrees to the northwest to align with the orientation of the valley and the assumed groundwater-flow directions. The numerical model was temporally discretized into 241 stress periods. The first stress period simulates a mean steady-state period, and the subsequent 240 stress periods were transient and simulate each month from 2000 to 2019. This U.S. Geological Survey data release includes all of the necessary files to simulate the Wet Mountain Valley alluvial aquifer and potential flow paths within it as described in the associated Scientific Investigations Report (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20245105).

Chronology of recent volcanic activity on the Island of Hawai‘i, Hawaii

The youngest and largest island in the State of Hawaii—the Island of Hawai‘i—is formed by five volcanoes, three of which have erupted within recent geologic history: Mauna Loa, Kīlauea, and Hualālai. This data release provides a chronology for activity and impacts at Mauna Loa, Kīlauea, and Hualālai over approximately the past two and a half centuries. This data release includes a word document, “HI_volcanoes_chronology_description,” that describes the data compilation process and provides simple summary tables of eruptive activity and maps. A CSV file contains the compiled eruption chronology data for all volcanoes—"HI_volcanoes_chronology_data”—references for which are provided in a separate CSV file titled “HI_volcanoes_chronology_references.” Additionally, a formatted excel file contains sheets with both the eruption chronology data and references (that are contained in the csv tables). Users are encouraged to reference the original sources of information in the tables presented here. These data are subject to revision as additional documentation is discovered, as more interpretive work on recent volcanic events is undertaken, or as additional eruptive activity occurs. At the time of publication of version one of this data release in January 2024, Hualālai erupted most recently in 1801, Kīlauea  erupted most recently in September 2023 at the summit, and Mauna Loa most recently erupted in 2022.

The U.S. Inland Creel and Angler Survey Catalog (CreelCat): A Database and Interactive Tool for Inland Fisheries Management and Research

The U.S. Inland Creel and Angler Survey Catalog (CreelCat) contains data compiled from 14,766 creel and angler surveys conducted by state natural resource management agencies (including Washington DC and Puerto Rico) in inland waters across the United States. Data is are contained in eight .csv files which contain information about survey characteristics (Survey_Data.csv), angler effort (AngEffort_Data.csv), catch and harvest (FishDataCompiled.csv), angler demographics (Demographic_Data.csv), angler preferences (AngPrefDataCompiled.csv), taxonomic classifications (Taxa_Data.csv), issues with catch and harvest (Fish_Attribution_Issues.csv), and issues with angler preference (AngPref_Attribution_Issues.csv), as well as three shapefiles containing geospatial information for lakes, reservoirs, ponds and tailraces attributed as polygons, rivers and streams attributed as lines, and all types attributed as points. Survey methodology and documentation is highly variable and therefore not all fields will be available for all surveys. The majority of surveys have been georeferenced however some data sources did not include adequate information to georeferenced the survey locations. In future releases we hope to update as many additional surveys as possible with geospatial information. Tables can be linked based on the 'Survey_ID' field. Data can be linked to the CreelCat shapefiles (point, line, and polygon) based on the WB_ID field contained in the 'Survey_Data' table as well as the shapefile attribute tables.

Lifespan of Massachusetts salt marsh units

Lifespan of salt marshes in Massachusetts (MA) are calculated using conceptual marsh units defined by Ackerman and others (2022). The lifespan calculation is based on estimated sediment supply and sea-level rise (SLR) predictions after Ganju and others (2020). Sea level predictions are local estimates which correspond to the 0.3, 0.5, and 1.0 meter increase in Global Mean Sea Level (GMSL) scenarios by 2100 from Sweet and others (2022). The U.S. Geological Survey has been expanding national assessment of coastal change hazards and forecast products to coastal wetlands, including Massachusetts salt marshes, with the intent of providing Federal, State, and local managers with tools to estimate the vulnerability and ecosystem service potential of these wetlands. For this purpose, the response and resilience of coastal wetlands to physical factors need to be assessed in terms of the ensuing change to their vulnerability and ecosystem services.

South Lake Lery Shoreline and Marsh Restoration (BS-16): 2012 and 2018 land-water classifications

The Louisiana State Legislature created the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in order to conserve, restore, create and enhance Louisiana's coastal wetlands. The wetland restoration plans developed pursuant to these acts specifically require an evaluation of the effectiveness of each coastal wetlands restoration project in achieving long-term solutions to arresting coastal wetlands loss. This data set includes mosaicked aerial photographs for the South Lake Lery Shoreline and Marsh Restoration (BS-16) project for 2012 and 2018. This data is used as a basemap land-water classification. It also serves as a visual tool for project managers to help them identify any obvious problems or land loss within their project boundary. To better evaluate the effectiveness of restoration efforts, a land-water classification is performed on specific CWPPRA sites to help assess landscape changes.
