USGS Water Resources: 1:250,000-scale Hydrologic Units of the United States

From the site: "The Geographic Information Retrieval and Analysis System (GIRAS) was developed in the mid 70s to put into digital form a number of data layers which were of interest to the USGS. One of these data layers was the Hydrologic Units. The map is based on the Hydrologic Unit Maps published by the U.S. Geological Survey Office of Water Data Coordination, together with the list descriptions and name of region, subregion, accounting units, and cataloging unit. The hydrologic units are encoded with an eight-digit number that indicates the hydrologic region (first two digits), hydrologic subregion (second two digits), accounting unit (third two digits), and cataloging unit (fourth two digits).

The data produced by GIRAS was originally collected at a scale of 1:250K.  Some areas, notably major cities in the west, were recompiled at a scale of 1:100K. In order to join the data together and use the data in a geographic information system (GIS) the data were processed in the ARC/INFO GUS software package.  Within the GIS, the data were edgematched and the neatline boundaries between maps were removed to create a single data set for the conterminous United States."

USGS Water Resources: National Stream Quality Accounting Network and National Monitoring Network Basin Boundary Geospatial Dataset, 2008-13

From the site: "This dataset and the accompanying Data Series report was created to assist in analysis and interpretation of water-quality data provided by the U.S. Geological Survey, National Stream Quality Accounting Network (NASQAN) and the National Monitoring Network (NMN). The report describes the methods used to develop the geospatial data which was primarily derived from the National Watershed Boundary Dataset (WBD12). The geospatial data contains polygon shapefiles of basin boundaries for 33 NASQAN and 5 NMN stations. In addition, 30 polygon shapefiles of the closed and noncontributing basins contained within the NASQAN or NMN boundaries where applicable are included. Also included is a point shapefile of the NASQAN and NMN gaging stations and associated basin and station attributes. The basin boundaries included in this dataset are for those sites implemented under the October 2007 design for the 5-years from 2008-2013 (http://water.usgs.gov/nasqan/)."

USGS Water Resources: Physiographic Provinces, Aquifer Outcrops and Recharge Rates in Tennessee

From the site: "This dataset is a coverage of the physiographic provinces, aquifer outcrops and recharge rates for Tennessee.  Each polygon is attributed with its associated physiographic region name (Miller, 1974), aquifer type and composition (Connell and Barron, 1993, p. 2), and aquifer recharge rates (Hoos, 1990 p. 19).
The dataset was created to make generalizations about an aquifer's capabilities of transport and recharge and to give names to those regions.
The linework was constructed by digitizing a map, prepared by Bradley and Hollyday (1985), at a scale of 1:1,000,000.  At the request of State officials, aquifer boundaries in the West Tennessee area were modified to reflect work reported by Parks and others (1982).  The coverage was created for the publication by Connell and Barron (1993).  The coverage was validated and attributed with physiographic names and aquifer recharge rates in 1997-98."

USGS Groundwater Watch: Climate Response Network

From the site: "The USGS maintains a network of wells to monitor the effects of droughts and other climate variability on groundwater levels. The network consists of a national network of about 130 wells monitored as part of the Groundwater Resources Program, supplemented by wells in some States monitored as part of the Cooperative Water Program.

The water-level changes in the Climate Response Network should primarily reflect climatic variability and not human influences. The climate variations of interest are those that affect recharge on monthly and longer time scales; not barometric or tidal influences. Observation wells should satisfy the following criteria:
-Open to a single, known hydrogeologic unit
-Known well construction that allows good water-level measurements
-Located in unconfined aquifers or near-surface confined aquifers that respond to climatic fluctuations
-Minimally affected by pumpage and likely to remain so
-Essentially unaffected by irrigation, canals, and other potential sources of artificial recharge
-Long-term accessibility
-Well has never gone dry (not susceptible to going dry)"

USGS Groundwater Watch: Real-Time Groundwater Level Network

From the site: "The Real Time Groundwater Level Network contains water levels and well information from wells with "real time" data transmission instrumentation. This network includes all of these wells, regardless of the aquifer monitored or the monitoring objective. 

Real-time data typically are recorded at 15-60 minute intervals, stored onsite, and then transmitted to USGS offices every 1 to 4 hours, depending on the data relay technique used. Recording and transmission times may be more frequent during critical events. Data from real-time sites are relayed to USGS offices via satellite, telephone, and/or radio and are available for viewing within minutes of arrival.

All real-time data are provisional and subject to revision."

USGS Groundwater Watch: Active Groundwater Level Network

From the site: "The Active Groundwater Level Network contains water levels and well information from more than 20,000 wells that have been measured by the USGS or USGS cooperators at least once within the past 13 months. This network includes all of these wells, regardless of measurement frequency, aquifer monitored, or the monitoring objective. 

The U.S. Geological Survey has a database/archive of about 850,000 wells across the Nation. Information about these wells is available to the world via NWISWeb (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/gw). Through various groundwater programs, the USGS actively measures water levels in, or collects data from more than 20,000 of these wells each year. These wells are measured for a variety of disparate purposes, such as statewide monitoring programs, or more local effects like monitoring well drawdown, hydrologic research, aquifer tests, or even earthquake effects on water levels. 

There also are a variety of networks among these actively measured wells; a National Climate Response Network for wells, Regional Networks like the High Plains Aquifer Monitoring Program that is designed to monitor storage changes in the High Plains Aquifer, state-based networks that are designed to monitor statewide groundwater conditions, and local networks designed to monitor pumping effects."

West Virginia Topographic Maps: Part 2

From the site: “A Digital Raster Graphic (DRG) is a scanned image of a U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) topographic map. An unclipped scanned image includes all marginal information, while a clipped or seamless scanned image clips off the collar information. DRGs may be used as a source or background layer in a geographic information system, as a means to perform quality assurance on other digital products, and as a source for the collection and revision of digital line graph data. The DRGs also can be merged with other digital data (e.g., digital elevation model or digital orthophotoquad data), to produce a hybrid digital file. 

The output resolution of a DRG varies from 250 to 500 dots per inch. The horizontal positional accuracy of the DRG matches the accuracy of the published source map. To be consistent with other USGS digital data, the image is cast on the UTM projection, and therefore, will not always be consistent with the credit note on the image collar. Only the area inside the map neatline is georeferenced, so minor distortion of the text may occur in the map collar. Refer to the scanned map collar or online Map List for the currentness of the DRG.”
