Archival data for regression models developed to estimate fecal coliform concentrations at five stream sites, Chester County, Pennsylvania (2017)

This data release supports the following publication: Senior, Lisa A., 2017, Estimated Fecal Coliform Bacteria Concentrations  Using Near Real-Time Water-Quality and Streamflow Data From Five Stream Sites in Chester County, Pennsylvania, 2007–16: U.S. Geological Survey Scientific-Investigations Report 2017–5075 (https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20175075) The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Chester County Health Department (CCHD) and the  Chester County Water Resources Authority (CCWRA), has collected discrete stream samples for analysis of fecal coliform concentrations during March– October annually at or near five gaging stations where near real-time continuous data on stream discharge, turbidity, and water temperature have been collected since 2007 (or since 2012 at 2 of the 5 stations). In 2014, the USGS, in cooperation with the CCWRA and CCHD, began to develop regression equations to estimate fecal coliform concentrations using available near real-time continuous data  .  Regression equations included possible explanatory variables of stream discharge, turbidity, water temperature, and seasonal factors calculated using Julian Day with base-10 logarithmic (log) transformations of selected variables. Data files in CSV format include datetime, stream discharge, in cubic feet per second, water temperature, in degrees Celsius, fecal coliform bacteria concentrations, in colonies per 100 milliliters, turbidity, in FNU, Julian Day, and calculated or transformed variables of log fecal coliform concentrations, log turbidity, sin(Julian Day/365), and cos(Julian Day/365)]. Data were collected at 5 stream sites, French Creek at Phoenixville Pa., White Clay Creek near Strickersville, Pa., East Branch Brandywine Creek below Downingtown Pa., West Branch Brandywine Creek at Modena Pa., and Brandywine Creek at Chadds Ford, Pa.

Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) 2016 Site 0398 land-water classification data

Wetland restoration efforts conducted by the Coastal Wetlands Planning, Protection and Restoration Act (CWPPRA) in Louisiana rely on monitoring efforts to determine the efficacy of these efforts. The Coastwide Reference Monitoring System (CRMS) was developed to assist in a multiple-reference approach that uses aspects of hydrogeomorphic functional assessments and probabilistic sampling for monitoring. The CRMS program includes a suite of approximately 390 sites that encompass the range of hydrological and ecological conditions for each stratum. As part of CRMS, land and water classifications are created from Digital Orthophoto Quarter Quadrangles (DOQQs) approximately every three years at all CRMS sites. A DOQQ is a raster image in which displacement in the image caused by sensor orientation and terrain relief has been removed and combines the image characteristics of a photo with geometric qualities of a map. The DOQQs generated for this project consist of 2016 Color Infrared (CIR) Digital Imagery. These images were classified into land and water categories using a threshold of the near infrared (NIR) band, followed by supervised and unsupervised classification.  Initial classification results are then reviewed by multiple image analysts to identify and manually recode errors. The final land-water classifications are intended to serve as both geographic and quantitative assessments of landscape composition on the date of acquisition. Three previous assessments have been conducted (2005, 2008, and 2012). Once the program creates enough data points for statistical analyses, these data will be used for land area change rate calculation.

MODFLOW-NWT model used to evaluate groundwater/surface-water interactions in the Bad River Watershed, Wisconsin

A groundwater-flow model was developed for the Bad River Watershed and surrounding area by using 
the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) finite-difference code MODFLOW–NWT.  The model simulates 
steady-state groundwater-flow and base flow in streams by using the streamflow routing (SFR) 
package.  The model was calibrated to groundwater levels and base flows obtained from the USGS 
National Water Information System (NWIS) database, and groundwater levels obtained from the 
Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources and Bad River Band well-construction databases.  
Calibration was performed via nonlinear regression by using the parameter-estimation software 
suite PEST.

Spatial Point Data Sets and Interpolated Surfaces of Well Construction Characteristics for Domestic and Public Supply Wells in the Central Valley, California, USA.

Well construction data for 11,917 domestic and 2,390 public-supply wells in the Central Valley were compiled as part of the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Assessment Project (NAWQA) and California State Water Resources Control Board (SWRCB) Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program Priority Basin Project (GAMA-PBP). Data were compiled for wells reported in the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database and from well information reported to the SWRCB Department of Drinking Water (SWRCB-DDW). Driller’s log data were transcribed from scanned images of well completion reports filed with California Department of Water Resources (DWR). The wells reported in this data release were filtered by water use to select domestic and public-supply wells and omit other water uses. The compilation was then assumed to be representative of the total population of domestic and public-supply wells in the Central Valley. The wells in the compilation were constructed between 1911 and 2008 but are not grouped or separated by date.   The data were used to produce two point data sets containing well location and construction information (depth from land surface to the top and bottom of the well screen, hereafter well-screen tops and bottoms; and screen length), and 12 interpolated GIS raster surfaces created by using Empirical Bayesian Kriging on a 1600 by 1600 meter (1 square-mile) grid. The tables are also included in csv format. The 12 rasters comprise predicted values for well screen tops and bottoms and their 10th and 90th quantile values.   The interpolated surfaces may also be used to calculate volumes of water-supply in the Central Valley defined by the well-screen tops and bottoms.

Seepage-run discharge measurements, November 15, 2021, He'eia Stream and 'Ioleka'a Stream, O'ahu, Hawai'i

This data release contains a comma-delimited ascii file of 16 discrete discharge measurements made at sites along selected reaches of He'eia Stream and 'Ioleka'a Stream, O'ahu, Hawai'i, on November 15, 2021. These discrete discharge measurements form what is commonly referred to as a "seepage run." The intent of the seepage run is to quantify the spatial distribution of streamflow along the reach during fair-weather, low-flow conditions, generally characterized by negligible direct runoff within the reach. The measurements can be used to characterize the net seepage of water into (water gain) or out of (water loss) the stream channel between measurement sites provided that the measurements were made during stable, nonchanging flow conditions and external surface inflows (for example, a tributary) or outflows (for example, a diversion) of water to the reach are quantified and accounted for in the computation of net seepage.
