The U.S. Pacific Northwest has a history of frequent and occasionally deadly landslides caused by various factors. Using a multivariate, machine-learning approach, we combined a Pacific Northwest Landslide Inventory with a 36-year gridded hydrologic dataset from the National Climate Assessment – Land Data Assimilation System to produce a landslide hazard indicator (LHI) on a daily 0.125-degree grid. The LHI identified where and when landslides were most probable over the years 1979–2016, addressing issues of bias and completeness that muddy the analysis of multi-decadal landslide inventories. The seasonal cycle was strong along the west coast, with a peak in the winter, but weaker east of the Cascade Range. This lagging indicator can fill gaps in the observational record to identify the seasonality of landslides over a large spatiotemporal domain and show how landslide hazard has responded to a changing climate.

The restoration of protection provided by forests from post-fire floods and debris flows depends on the recovery of infiltration and attendant reduction of infiltration-excess surface runoff generation. This work examines seven years of post-fire infiltration measurements and temporal relations fit to soil-hydraulic properties from the Colorado Front Range, USA to assess infiltration recovery with increasing time since fire. Point-scale Green-Ampt simulations of infiltration across a full spectrum of rainfall events are used to evaluate infiltration changes and shifts in surface runoff generation thresholds with post-fire temporal recovery. Measured and simulated infiltration generally recovered monotonically with increasing time since fire. This indicates a reduced vulnerability to infiltration-excess runoff generation as time elapses, with the greatest risk in the first two years after the fire. The threshold for infiltration-excess runoff advances with increasing time to rainfall events with higher intensity and greater return intervals; by the third year after wildfire only extreme events (30-100 year recurrence) generate surface runoff and by the fifth and seventh year even extreme rainfall events typically fail to generate surface runoff. Remotely-sensed vegetation indices suggest linked, or at least contemporaneous, recovery of understory vegetation and field-saturated hydraulic conductivity at this field site, suggesting coincident recovery of multiple hillslope properties impacting surface runoff generation. This work indicates that the closing of the window of disturbance after wildfire, relative to infiltration-excess runoff generation and corresponding flash flood and debris flow hazards, relies on coupled assessments of hillslope property recovery and stochasticity of high-intensity rainfall. Post-fire hazard assessments using static hillslope properties could fail to predict flash floods and debris flows associated with infrequent extreme rainfall events that strike during the post-fire recovery period when hillslope properties are partially recovered.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jhydrol.2020.124765","collaboration":"","usgsCitation":"Ebel, B., 2020, Temporal evolution of measured and simulated infiltration following wildfire in the Colorado Front Range, USA: Shifting thresholds of runoff generation and hydrologic hazards: Journal of Hydrology, v. 585, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2020.124765.","productDescription":"124765, 16 p.","startPage":"124765","ipdsId":"IP-111116","costCenters":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":457401,"rank":1,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2020.124765","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":437057,"rank":0,"type":{"id":30,"text":"Data Release"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.5066/P9RCNFD9","text":"USGS data release","linkHelpText":"Green-Ampt infiltration modeling following wildfire in the Colorado Front Range, USA"},{"id":374881,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","state":"Colorado","otherGeospatial":"Colorado Front Range","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -106.270751953125,\n 39.52522954427751\n ],\n [\n -104.52392578125,\n 39.52522954427751\n ],\n [\n -104.52392578125,\n 40.901057866884024\n ],\n [\n -106.270751953125,\n 40.901057866884024\n ],\n [\n -106.270751953125,\n 39.52522954427751\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","volume":"585","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ebel, Brian A. 0000-0002-5413-3963","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-5413-3963","contributorId":211845,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ebel","given":"Brian A.","affiliations":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":789317,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1}]}} ,{"id":70208809,"text":"sir20195127 - 2020 - An enhanced hydrologic stream network based on the NHDPlus medium resolution dataset","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2022-04-25T19:26:27.608939","indexId":"sir20195127","displayToPublicDate":"2020-03-10T10:15:00","publicationYear":"2020","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":18,"text":"Report"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":5,"text":"USGS Numbered Series"},"seriesTitle":{"id":334,"text":"Scientific Investigations Report","code":"SIR","onlineIssn":"2328-0328","printIssn":"2328-031X","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":5}},"seriesNumber":"2019-5127","displayTitle":"An Enhanced Hydrologic Stream Network Based on the NHDPlus Medium Resolution Dataset","title":"An enhanced hydrologic stream network based on the NHDPlus medium resolution dataset","docAbstract":"The National Hydrography Dataset Plus, Version 2.1 (NHDPlusV2.1) is an attribute-rich digital stream network for the conterminous United States, serving as a foundational infrastructure for reporting hydrologic information at both regional and national scales. SPAtially Referenced Regressions On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) is a process-based statistical model that relies on a digital hydrologic network like NHDPlusV2.1 to establish spatial relations between quantities of monitored contaminant loads and contaminant sources, accounting for the physical characteristics along flow paths affecting contaminant transport. The U.S. Geological Survey National Water Quality Assessment project adopted and modified the medium-resolution NHDPlusV2.1 network for use as the primary framework supporting SPARROW modeling. This report describes the enhancements made to improve the routing capabilities and the value-added attributes of NHDPlusV2.1 to support modeling and other hydrologic analyses. These enhancements include corrections to inconsistencies in network/routing information, filling in missing attribute values of associated characteristics, accounting of water use affecting flow, new variables useful for interpreting network data, revised flowline attributes such as slope and flow, and incorporation of ancillary spatial data into the network. The resulting dataset containing the enhancements to the network is named E2NHDPlusV2_US. Although the enhancements described in the report were developed for use in SPARROW modeling, the enhancements are expected to be useful for a wide variety of hydrologic studies within the United States.

The principle sources of trace elements entering upper Tenmile Creek, Montana, during September 2011, four trace metals and the metalloid arsenic, were identified and quantified by combining and analyzing streamflow data determined from tracer injection with trace-element concentrations and related water-quality data determined from synoptic sampling. The study reach was along upper Tenmile Creek, beginning downstream from the city of Helena’s diversion and extending 5,020 feet downstream. Results from the 2011 study, completed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, were compared to results from a similar study conducted in 1998 to assess the effectiveness of mine reclamation and remediation work to reduce trace-element loading to upper Tenmile Creek, which has been ongoing throughout the drainage basin.
Main-stem concentrations of most trace elements analyzed were generally greater in 1998 than in 2011. However, the State of Montana human-health criteria for total-recoverable cadmium and arsenic were exceeded in parts of upper Tenmile Creek, and concentrations of cadmium and zinc exceeded the acute aquatic-life criteria at all main-stem sites during both studies. Total-recoverable copper concentrations observed in 2011 exceeded the chronic aquatic-life criterion upstream from the Lee Mountain adit, whereas, in 1998, all sites exceeded the acute aquatic-life criteria.
Direct comparison of loads from the 1998 and 2011 tracer studies were complicated by the differences in hydrologic conditions. Streamflow in 1998 was about 10 percent of the 2011 streamflow. The Lee Mountain Mine and Susie Lode adit were identified as major contributors of trace elements to upper Tenmile Creek in both studies. However, trace-element loading from the Lee Mountain Mine area was substantially reduced between 1998 and 2011. Total-recoverable loads of all trace elements showed substantial loss in 1998 but increased in 2011 downstream from the Susie Lode adit to the end of the study reach. This reach was one of the primary sources of trace-element loading to upper Tenmile Creek in 2011. This difference indicated that the streambed may act as a sink or a source for trace elements, depending on hydrologic conditions.

Management of water resources in the transboundary Rio Grande/Río Bravo Basin (the Basin) presents challenges for state and Federal entities in the United States and Mexico making management decisions on shared water resources. Damming, channelization, water availability, and allocation are governed by water rights and water-sharing agreements. Data and information sharing are important aspects of transboundary cooperation, but differences in format, content, spatial and temporal resolution, and language hinder collaboration. In addition, data on the kinds and geographic distribution of water governance and management institutions across the Basin have not been consistently documented. Existing data disparities parallel the hydrological and social fragmentation of the Basin.
Seeking to underscore the interdependence between social and environmental processes in the Basin, anthropologists and modelers collaborated to develop a socio-environmental geodatabase. This geodatabase is a first step in modeling the social components of decision making and their connectivity to environmental processes across the Basin. The geodatabase is available in an open-access domain and contains geospatial data related to water and land governance, hydrology, water use and hydraulic infrastructure, socioeconomics, and the biophysical environment necessary to advance the understanding of basin dynamics. Having these data documented and compiled in a central location serves as a resource to help decision makers better understand upstream and downstream social-environmental characteristics. This knowledge is useful for developing sustainable water management policies in a region where water resources are increasingly under pressure from climatic, environmental, and human-related changes.

This uncertainty largely stems from the challenge of isolating the effect of changes in impervious cover separate from other factors that also affect flooding. To control for these factors, prior study designs rely on either temporal or spatial variation in impervious cover. We leverage both temporal and spatial variation in a panel data regression design to isolate the effect of impervious cover on floods. With 39 years of data from 280 U.S. streamgages, we estimate that a one percentage point increase in impervious basin cover causes a 3.3% increase in annual flood magnitude (95%CI: 1.9%, 4.7%) on average. Using 2,109 streamgages, some of which have upstream regulation and/or overlapping basins, we estimate a larger effect: 4.6% (CI: 3.5%, 5.6%). The approach introduced here can be extended to estimate the causal effects of other drivers of hydrologic change.
Sediment is one of the leading pollutants in rivers and streams across the United States (US) and the world. Between 1992 and 2012, concentrations of annual mean suspended sediment decreased at over half of the 137 stream sites assessed across the contiguous US. Increases occurred at less than 25 % of the sites, and the direction of change was uncertain at the remaining 25 %. Sediment trends were characterized using the Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS) model, and decreases in sediment ranged from −95 % to −8.5 % of the 1992 concentration. To explore potential drivers of these changes, the sediment trends were (1) parsed into two broad contributors of change, changes in land management versus changes in the streamflow regime, and (2) grouped by land use of the watershed and correlated to concurrent changes in land use or land cover (land use/cover), hydrology and climate variables and static/long-term watershed characteristics. At 83 % of the sites, changes in land management (captured by changes in the concentration–streamflow relationship over time; C–Q relationship) contributed more to the change in the sediment trend than changes in the streamflow regime alone (i.e., any systematic change in the magnitude, frequency or timing of flows). However, at >50 % of the sites, changes in the streamflow regime contributed at least a 5 % change in sediment, and at 11 sites changes in the streamflow regime contributed over half the change in sediment, indicating that at many sites changes in streamflow were not the main driver of changes in sediment but were often an important supporting factor. Correlations between sediment trends and concurrent changes in land use/cover, hydrology and climate were often stronger at sites draining watersheds with more homogenous, human-related land uses (i.e., agricultural and urban lands) compared to mixed-use or undeveloped lands. At many sites, decreases in sediment occurred despite small-to-moderate increases in the amount of urban or agricultural land in the watershed, suggesting conservation efforts and best-management practices (BMPs) used to reduce sediment runoff to streams may be successful, up to a point, as lands are converted to urban and agricultural uses.

from Arctic great rivers","docAbstract":"Land–ocean linkages are strong across the circumpolar north, where the Arctic Ocean accounts for 1% of the global ocean volume and receives more than 10% of the global river discharge. Yet estimates of Arctic riverine mercury (Hg) export constrained from direct Hg measurements remain sparse. Here, we report results from a coordinated, year-round sampling program that focused on the six major Arctic rivers to establish a contemporary (2012–2017) benchmark of riverine Hg export. We determine that the six major Arctic rivers exported an average of 20 000 kg y–1 of total Hg (THg, all forms of Hg). Upscaled to the pan-Arctic, we estimate THg flux of 37 000 kg y–1. More than 90% of THg flux occurred during peak river discharge in spring and summer. Normalizing fluxes to watershed area (yield) reveals higher THg yields in regions where greater denudation likely enhances Hg mobilization. River discharge, suspended sediment, and dissolved organic carbon predicted THg concentration with moderate fidelity, while suspended sediment and water yields predicted THg yield with high fidelity. These findings establish a benchmark in the face of rapid Arctic warming and an intensifying hydrologic cycle, which will likely accelerate Hg cycling in tandem with changing inputs from thawing permafrost and industrial activity.

We used Passive Integrated Transponder (PIT)-tagging and a series of instream PIT-tag interrogation systems (PTISs) to track juveniles. The Wind River subbasin is considered a wild Steelhead refuge by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW). No hatchery Steelhead have been planted in the Wind River subbasin since 1997, and hatchery adults are estimated to be less than one percent of spawners in most years (pers comm. Thomas Buehrens, Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife). Our repeated headwater sampling of consistent sites in the Wind River subbasin has also allowed us to track relative abundance of Brook Trout, a non-native species to the Wind River. Our work is contributing to understanding of Steelhead population response to numerous restoration actions in the subbasin, including removal of Hemlock Dam from Trout Creek in 2009, where our PTISs are helping to quantify adult response.
Data from our study, and companion work by Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife, are contributing to Bonneville Power Administration’s (BPA) Research Monitoring and Evaluation (RM&E) Program Strategy of Fish Population Status Monitoring (www.cbfish.org/ProgramStrategy.mvc/ViewProgramStrategySummary/1). Specifically this work addresses the sub-strategies of: 1) Assessing the Status and Trends of Diversity of Natural Origin Fish Populations and to Uncertainties Research regarding differing life histories of a wild Steelhead population, 2) Assessing the Status and Trend of Adult Natural Origin Fish Populations, and 3) Monitoring and Evaluating the Effectiveness of Tributary Habitat Actions Relative to Environmental, Physical, or Biological Performance Objectives. Our headwaters parr PIT tagging, WDFW parr, smolt, and adult tagging and our instream PTISs are providing data on movements and life histories of parr, smolt, and adult Steelhead.
During summer 2018, we PIT-tagged 1,592 age-0 and age-1 Steelhead parr in headwater areas of the Wind River subbasin to characterize population traits and investigate life-history diversity, including growth and pre-smolt downstream movement. Repeat headwater sampling and smolt trap operations provide opportunities for recapture, and instream PTISs and Columbia River infrastructure provide opportunity for detection of PIT-tagged fish. Throughout the year, we maintained a series of six instream PTISs to monitor movement of tagged Steelhead parr, smolts, and adults.
Detections at the instream PTISs have demonstrated trends of age-0 and age-1 parr emigration from natal areas during summer and fall, in addition to the expected movement of parr and smolts in spring. Substantial numbers of parr make downstream movements as age-1 fish. We have estimated that from 15 to 33 percent of parr tagged as age-0 fish make downstream migrations at age-1 for additional rearing. We have estimated that from 1 to 27 percent of parr tagged as age-1 fish make downstream migrations during fall. These findings raise many questions about parr rearing strategies, habitat use, and success of these migrants and suggest a need for broader monitoring of juvenile Steelhead in some river systems to fully document juvenile production. Long-term monitoring of PIT-tagged fish is providing information on contribution of various life-history strategies to smolt production and adult returns.
Movements of PIT-tagged adult Steelhead were recorded at instream PTISs. These data have allowed assessment of adult returns to tributary watersheds within the Wind River subbasin. Detection efficiency of adult PIT-tagged Steelhead at our primary adult-monitoring PTIS in Trout Creek has been greater than 92 percent during 6 of the past 7 years. This is providing excellent data to estimate adult returns to this watershed. Determination of adult use of tributary watersheds is providing data to help evaluate the efficacy of the removal of Hemlock Dam on Trout Creek. Hemlock Dam, located at rkm 2.0 of Trout Creek, was removed in summer 2009. The dam contributed to hydrologic impairment of Trout Creek and had potential negative effects on Steelhead. The improvements made to the upper Wind River PTIS (site code WRU at rkm 28.3; better site characteristics and grid power) during 2016 and 2017, and a planned new site in the Mine Reach of the upper Wind River, will allow estimates of subbasin adult escapement like those in Trout Creek.
During 2018, we also completed planning and permitting with U.S. Forest Service for a new PTIS site at rkm 36 of the Wind River (the Mine Reach, mentioned above). This site will replace two sites (one in Paradise Creek and one at rkm 41 of the Wind River), which had operational challenges due to lack of adequate solar power and winter difficulties. The new Mine Reach PTIS site at rkm 36, will have better solar exposure, fewer winter operations difficulties, and provide opportunity to detect fish from juvenile sampling sites that were downstream of the previous two PTISs. The more consistent operation of the new Mine Reach PTIS site will increase our ability to estimate migrant abundance as all the juveniles tagged upstream of it will be subject to the same potential detection history, instead of three different potential detection histories as before. Additionally, with the new Mine Reach PTIS site lower in the watershed, it will subject more PIT-tagged adult Steelhead to detection and provide ability to generate a nonbiased adult-detection efficiency estimate for the WRU PTIS at rkm 28.3 of the Wind River. This will provide the opportunity to estimate yearly adult Steelhead abundance to the upper Wind watershed area. Permitting is complete and some supplies have been purchased to build and install this new site in 2019.
Repeat sampling at consistent locations in the subbasin has allowed investigation into juvenile Steelhead growth patterns. Growth rates (relative change in weight) of age-0 PIT-tagged parr during summer are similar across the subbasin, but lower for age-1 parr in the Trout Creek watershed than the upper Wind River watershed. Yearly growth for parr tagged at age-0 is similar across the subbasin. Yearly growth for parr tagged at age-1 is lowest in Martha Creek, but similar elsewhere.
Non-native Brook Trout are present in portions of the subbasin, chiefly the Trout Creek watershed, and repeat sampling has allowed us to index their prevalence. Percentage of catch that is Brook Trout at each of four sample sites in Trout Creek have declined from the period 1998 – 2003 to the period 2011 – 2018. There was a pattern of decline in percent of catch and number of Brook Trout at the Trout Creek sites from 2011 through 2016, though a slight upward trend during 2017 and 2018 has been evident.
Evaluating and planning restoration efforts are of interest to many managers and agencies to ensure efficient use of resources. The evaluation of various life-histories of Steelhead within the Wind River subbasin will provide information to better track populations, and to direct habitat restoration and water allocation planning. Movement of Steelhead parr raises many questions regarding estimating juvenile abundance, origin, and habitat use within watersheds. Improved PTISs and focused PIT tagging of age-0 and age-1 Steelhead parr are increasingly allowing us to investigate such questions. Increasingly detailed Viable Salmonid Population information, such as that provided by PIT-tagging and instream PTISs networks like those in the Wind River subbasin, provide data to inform policy and management, as life-history strategies and production bottlenecks are identified and understood.

Using an event-based dataset and bootstrapping techniques, we tested for difference and equivalence in median event concentration and differences in concentration-discharge (C-Q) relationships between an early and late period at each site, where most of the major BMP implementation occurred during the early period. Results for one site were inconclusive. None of the constituents had statistically different or equivalent event concentrations between the periods, indicating a lack of evidence to tell whether water quality had changed or stayed the same, and only TP had a significantly higher C-Q slope during the late period. At the other site, more than half the constituents had a significantly different median, slope, or intercept between periods, indicating a 35% or more decrease in event concentration following a period of intense BMP implementation. These mixed results could be due to variety of differences between the sites including BMP implementation, production practices, and crops. We also used the monitoring data to generate synthetic data and perform a simulation-based power analysis to explore the ability to detect change under 25 scenarios of sampled event counts and hypothetical percent changes. The simulation-based power analysis indicated that high natural variability in event concentration and flow hindered our ability to detect change.

Questions related to multiscale measurement and representation of hydrographic features continue to emerge with increased spatial and temporal data collection.
A key metric for understanding meander bend geometry is sinuosity. The most common measure of sinuosity is the length of a feature divided by the distance between stream head and mouth. The measure relays deviation from a straight line but nothing about meander wavelength. There is not a clear consensus on methods for measuring meander geometry, much less efficiently, at scales made viable with increased data resolution. Here we propose a method for automated characterization of meander wavelength or bend radius. The method, termed Scale-Specific Sinuosity (S3), is a derivation from the Richardson plot. The Richardson (1961) plot is a classic means of calculating fractal dimension of natural line features and describes feature length (ℓ) given increasing vertex spacing, or step size (S), plotted on a log-log plot. The S3 metric is defined as negative one times the slope of a Richardson plot for a given stride length. This paper demonstrates utility of S3 for estimating changes in sinuosity with scale change.

It overlies a thermal anomaly that extends deep into the mantle and represents one of the highest heat flow provinces in North America, but systematic exploration been hindered by lack of a conceptual model. Play Fairway Analysis (PFA) is a methodology adapted from the petroleum industry that integrates data at the regional or basin scale to define favorable plays for exploration in a systematic fashion. The success of play fairway analysis in geothermal exploration depends critically on defining a systematic methodology that is grounded in theory and adapted to the geologic and hydrologic framework of real geothermal systems. \nThis study focused on identifying three critical resource parameters for exploitable hydrothermal systems in the Snake River Plain: heat source, reservoir and recharge permeability, and cap or seal. Data included in the compilation for Heat were heat flow, the distribution and ages of volcanic vents, groundwater temperatures, thermal springs and wells, helium isotope anomalies, and reservoir temperatures estimated using geothermometry. Permeability was derived from stress orientations and magnitudes, post-Miocene faults, and subsurface structural lineaments based on magnetic and gravity data. Data for Seal included the distribution of impermeable lake sediments and clay-seal associated with hydrothermal alteration below the regional aquifer. These data were used to compile Common Risk Segment (CRS) maps for Heat, Permeability and Seal, which were combined to create a Composite Common Risk Segment (CCRS) map for all of southern Idaho that reflects the risk associated with geothermal resource exploration and helps to identify favorable resource tracks. \nOur data suggests that important undiscovered geothermal resources may be located in several areas of the SRP, including the western SRP (associated with buried lineaments capped by lacustrine sediment), at lineament intersections in the central SRP, and along the margins of the eastern SRP. These blind resources are associated with temperatures sufficient to support electricity production, and may be exploitable with existing deep drilling technology. We are testing our methodology by drilling a geothermal test well in Camas Prairie, ID, confirm our predictions of permeability and reservoir temperature.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Proceedings: 45th workshop on geothermal reservoir engineering","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":12,"text":"Conference

significant long-term impact to recreational trails. Comprehensive modeling of soil loss on trails can identify influential factors that managers can manipulate to design and manage more sustainable trails. Field measurements assessed soil loss as the mean vertical depth along 135 trail transects across the Appalachian Trail sampled along three 5km trail segments in the White Mountains National Forest of New Hampshire. Using LiDAR data to accurately measure terrain characteristics that influence trail erosion can improve predictive models of trail system soil loss. Borrowing from geomorphic and agricultural soil erosion models, this study evaluated a variety of terrain and hydrology characteristics to model trail soil loss at three spatial scales: transect, trail corridor, and watershed. The model for each spatial scale and a combined model are presented. The adjusted R2 explaining variation in soil loss is 0.57 using variables from all spatial scales, a substantial improvement on previous trail erosion models. Environmental and trail design factors such as slope and watershed flow length were found to be significantly correlated to soil loss and have implications for sustainable trail design and management.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.landurbplan.2020.103765","usgsCitation":"Eagleston, H., and Marion, J.L., 2020, Application of airborne LiDAR and GIS in

support: A worked example","docAbstract":"A fully worked example of decision-support-scale uncertainty quantification (UQ) and parameter estimation (PE) is presented. The analyses are implemented for an existing groundwater flow model of the Edwards aquifer, Texas, USA, and are completed in a script-based workflow that strives to be transparent and reproducible. High-dimensional PE is used to history-match simulated outputs to corresponding state observations of spring flow and groundwater level. Then a hindcast of a historical drought is made. Using available state observations recorded during drought conditions, the combined UQ and PE analyses are shown to yield an ensemble of model results that bracket the observed hydrologic responses. All files and scripts used for the analyses are placed in the public domain to serve as a template for other practitioners who are interested in undertaking these types of analyses.

A better understanding of the mechanisms by which atrazine and its degradation product, deethylatrazine, increase and decrease in surface waters can help inform future decisions for water-quality improvement. This study considers causal factors for trends in pesticide concentration in streams in the United States and models the causal factors, other than use, in structural equation models. The structural equation models use a concomitant trend in corn and a latent variable model indicating moisture supply and management. The moisture supply and management latent variable incorporates long-term moisture conditions in the individual watersheds by using the Palmer Hydrologic Drought Index; human influence on the hydrologic cycle through the percent of the watershed drained by tile drains in 2012; and the base-flow contribution to streamflow, using the base-flow index. The structural equation models explain 77% and 38% of the variability in atrazine and deethylatrazine trends, respectively, across the conterminous United States. The models highlight future water-quality challenges, particularly in tile-drained settings where fall precipitation and heavy precipitation are increasing.","language":"English","publisher":"ACSESS","doi":"10.1002/jeq2.20045","usgsCitation":"Ryberg, K.R., Stone, W.W., and Baker, N.T., 2020, Causal factors for pesticide trends in streams of the United States: Atrazine and deethylatrazine: Journal of Environmental Quality, v. 49, no. 1, p. 152-162, https://doi.org/10.1002/jeq2.20045.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"152","endPage":"162","ipdsId":"IP-102928","costCenters":[{"id":37277,"text":"WMA - Earth System Processes Division","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":457571,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1002/jeq2.20045","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":372755,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -126.73828125,\n 24.686952411999155\n ],\n [\n -66.181640625,\n 24.686952411999155\n ],\n [\n -66.181640625,\n 49.095452162534826\n ],\n [\n -126.73828125,\n 49.095452162534826\n ],\n [\n -126.73828125,\n 24.686952411999155\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","volume":"49","issue":"1","publishingServiceCenter":{"id":4,"text":"Rolla PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationDate":"2020-02-28","publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Ryberg, Karen R. 0000-0002-9834-2046 kryberg@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9834-2046","contributorId":1172,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Ryberg","given":"Karen","email":"kryberg@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"R.","affiliations":[{"id":34685,"text":"Dakota Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":783394,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Stone, Wesley W. 0000-0003-0239-2063 wwstone@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0003-0239-2063","contributorId":1496,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Stone","given":"Wesley","email":"wwstone@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"W.","affiliations":[{"id":346,"text":"Indiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":27231,"text":"Indiana-Kentucky Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":451,"text":"National Water Quality Assessment Program","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":783395,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Baker, Nancy T. 0000-0002-7979-5744 ntbaker@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-7979-5744","contributorId":1955,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Baker","given":"Nancy","email":"ntbaker@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"T.","affiliations":[{"id":451,"text":"National Water Quality Assessment Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":346,"text":"Indiana Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":27111,"text":"National Water Quality Program","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":27231,"text":"Indiana-Kentucky Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":783396,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3}]}} ,{"id":70266785,"text":"70266785 - 2020 - Co-producing knowledge: The Integrated Ecosystem Model for resource management in Arctic Alaska","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2025-05-13T16:30:41.584275","indexId":"70266785","displayToPublicDate":"2020-02-27T11:17:16","publicationYear":"2020","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":1701,"text":"Frontiers in Ecology and the Environment","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Co-producing knowledge: The Integrated Ecosystem Model for resource management in Arctic Alaska","docAbstract":"Assessments of climate-change effects on ecosystem processes and services in high-latitude regions are hindered by a lack of decision-support tools capable of forecasting possible future landscapes. We describe a collaborative effort to develop and apply the Integrated Ecosystem Model (IEM) for Alaska and northwestern Canada to explore how climate change influences interactions among disturbance regimes, permafrost integrity, hydrology, and vegetation, and how these dynamics in turn influence resource management decisions. This process emphasizes co-production of knowledge among decision makers, scientists, major funders, partners, and stakeholders. We highlight research findings based on IEM applications in Arctic Alaska, as well as successes and challenges of the co-production process. The overall framework and lessons from our work with the IEM are relevant to other collaborative efforts outside the Arctic that aim to develop a decision-support tool or an undertaking of equivalent scope.

Estimated ages for samples that contain a mixture of young and old groundwater will be particularly sensitive to model parametrization as relatively small additions of modern 14C from recent recharge can mask the presence and amount of old groundwater. A novel multi-model approach based on inverse geochemical modeling and lumped parameter modeling of age tracers (3H, 3Hetrit, and SF6) was used to better constrain 14C dilution caused by dissolution of carbonates in the unsaturated zone or shallow parts of the Glacial aquifer, which extends over 2000 miles across the northern contiguous United States. Calibration of 14C inverse geochemical models to LPM computed 14C concentrations in modern water indicated that 14C of soil zone and shallow aquifer carbonates were not 14C-dead (0 pmC), as is typically assumed for 14C correction models. 14C of such carbonates was on average about 53 pmC (ranged 0-110 pmC, n = 72). This information was used to correct 14C concentrations for water recharged entirely before 1950 and water that is a mixture of pre- and post-1950 water. The multi-model approach developed here was compared to an analytical 14C-adjustment model (Revised Fontes and Garnier) that assumed solid carbonates were 14C-dead. 14C corrections using the analytical adjustment model tended to over-correct final 14C concentrations by 21 pmC and underestimates mean ages by 40% for groundwater mixtures. In fact, 14C corrections based on analytical model yielded negative ages (14C > 120 pmC) in nearly 36% of mixed samples. This work presents a new approach to constraining 14C corrections and age estimates of mixtures of young and old groundwater. The new method is applied to three well networks distributed across the spatially expansive Glacial aquifer.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.jhydrol.2020.124766","usgsCitation":"Solder, J.E., and Jurgens, B., 2020, Evaluation of soil zone processes and a novel radiocarbon correction approach for groundwater with mixed sources: Journal of Hydrology, v. 588, 124766, 14 p., https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jhydrol.2020.124766.","productDescription":"124766, 14 p.","ipdsId":"IP-098920","costCenters":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":610,"text":"Utah Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":376259,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"country":"United States","otherGeospatial":"Glacier aquifer system","geographicExtents":"{\n \"type\": \"FeatureCollection\",\n \"features\": [\n {\n \"type\": \"Feature\",\n \"properties\": {},\n \"geometry\": {\n \"type\": \"Polygon\",\n \"coordinates\": [\n [\n [\n -123.3544921875,\n 49.15296965617039\n ],\n [\n -123.79394531249999,\n 47.517200697839414\n ],\n [\n -122.16796875,\n 46.800059446787316\n ],\n [\n -120.234375,\n 48.019324184801185\n ],\n [\n -114.3896484375,\n 47.249406957888446\n ],\n [\n -108.984375,\n 47.931066347509756\n ],\n [\n -107.75390625,\n 48.268569112964336\n ],\n [\n -105.64453125,\n 48.28319289548347\n ],\n [\n -102.1728515625,\n 46.830133640447386\n ],\n [\n -101.3818359375,\n 43.739352079154706\n ],\n [\n -99.66796875,\n 42.87596410238256\n ],\n [\n -98.5693359375,\n 40.83043687764923\n ],\n [\n -96.9873046875,\n 38.99357205820944\n ],\n [\n -94.76806640625,\n 38.27268853598095\n ],\n [\n -92.2412109375,\n 38.5825261593533\n ],\n [\n -90,\n 38.41055825094609\n ],\n [\n -86.39648437499999,\n 38.65119833229951\n ],\n [\n -82.705078125,\n 39.36827914916011\n ],\n [\n -82.001953125,\n 40.54720023441049\n ],\n [\n -81.07910156249999,\n 41.11246878918086\n ],\n [\n -80.2001953125,\n 41.40977583200954\n ],\n [\n -77.87109375,\n 41.343824581185686\n ],\n [\n -74.7509765625,\n 40.68063802521456\n ],\n [\n -73.5205078125,\n 41.07935114946896\n ],\n [\n -71.1474609375,\n 41.54147766679026\n ],\n [\n -69.9169921875,\n 41.83682786072712\n ],\n [\n -70.9716796875,\n 42.35854391749705\n ],\n [\n -70.8837890625,\n 43.67581809328341\n ],\n [\n -67.03857421875,\n 44.88701247981298\n ],\n [\n -67.82958984375,\n 45.75219336063106\n ],\n [\n -68.4228515625,\n 47.398349200359235\n ],\n [\n -69.4775390625,\n 47.487513008956554\n ],\n [\n -70.9716796875,\n 45.38301927899063\n ],\n [\n -75.322265625,\n 45.10454630976873\n ],\n [\n -76.4208984375,\n 44.18220395771563\n ],\n [\n -76.376953125,\n 43.64402584769947\n ],\n [\n -79.453125,\n 43.389081939117496\n ],\n [\n -79.0576171875,\n 42.84375132629018\n ],\n [\n -83.4521484375,\n 42.00032514831621\n ],\n [\n -82.265625,\n 44.3709869629717\n ],\n [\n -84.6826171875,\n 46.649436163350245\n ],\n [\n -88.1982421875,\n 47.487513008956554\n ],\n [\n -91.9775390625,\n 46.89023157359399\n ],\n [\n -91.318359375,\n 48.166085419012504\n ],\n [\n -94.6142578125,\n 48.777912755501845\n ],\n [\n -95.3173828125,\n 49.468124067331615\n ],\n [\n -95.44921875,\n 49.03786794532641\n ],\n [\n -123.3544921875,\n 49.15296965617039\n ]\n ]\n ]\n }\n }\n ]\n}","volume":"588","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Solder, John E. 0000-0002-0660-3326","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-0660-3326","contributorId":201953,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Solder","given":"John","email":"","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":610,"text":"Utah Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":792356,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Jurgens, Bryant C. 0000-0002-1572-113X","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-1572-113X","contributorId":203430,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Jurgens","given":"Bryant","middleInitial":"C.","affiliations":[{"id":154,"text":"California Water Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":792357,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2}]}} ,{"id":70207592,"text":"sir20195147 -

Saline water accounted for 9,598 Mgal/d (63 percent) and freshwater accounted for 5,721 Mgal/d (37 percent) of the total. Groundwater accounted for 3,604 Mgal/d (63 percent) of freshwater withdrawals and surface water accounted for the remaining 2,117 Mgal/d (37 percent). Surface-water sources accounted for 9,401 Mgal/d (98 percent) of the saline-water withdrawals, and groundwater sources accounted for the remaining 198 Mgal/d (2 percent). The majority of groundwater withdrawals (almost 62 percent) in 2015 were from the Floridan aquifer system, which is used throughout most of the State while the majority of fresh surface-water withdrawals (52 percent) occurred in the Southern Florida Subregion, a hydrologic unit that includes Lake Okeechobee and canals in the Everglades Agricultural Area. Groundwater provided drinking water (public supplied and self-supplied) for 18.324 million people (92 percent of Florida’s population), and fresh surface water provided drinking water for 1.491 million people (8 percent).
Overall, public supply accounted for 39 percent of the total freshwater withdrawals (ground and surface) and 53 percent of groundwater withdrawals, followed by agricultural self-supplied uses, which accounted for 37 percent of the total freshwater withdrawals and 28 percent of groundwater withdrawals. Other self-supplied groundwater withdrawals include commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied (8 percent), recreational-landscape irrigation and domestic self-supplied (5 percent each), and power generation (less than 1 percent). Agricultural self-supplied withdrawals accounted for 51 percent of fresh surface-water withdrawals, followed by power generation (19 percent), public supply (15 percent), recreational-landscape irrigation (10 percent), and commercial-industrial-mining self-supplied (5 percent).
In 1975, agricultural water withdrawals accounted for 43 percent of the total freshwater withdrawals, followed by power generation (24 percent) and public supply (17 percent). By 2000, agricultural withdrawals increased to 48 percent of the total freshwater withdrawals, followed by public supply (30 percent). For 2015, agricultural self-supplied decreased to 37 percent of total freshwater withdrawals, and was surpassed by public supply at 39 percent. Over the 40-year period between 1975 and 2015, increases in freshwater withdrawals caused by large gains in population and the expansion of irrigated acreage were offset by decreases in water used for power generation and commercial-industrial-mining withdrawals. Since 2000, however, irrigated acreage has decreased statewide because of crop disease, storm damage, and urbanization. This decline, coupled with large gains in water conservation measures in the farming industry, has led to agricultural withdrawals in Florida being less than public-supply withdrawals for the first time since water-use data were first reported in 1965.

To update and expand a part of the Federal Emergency Management Agency Flood Insurance Study, the U.S. Geological Survey, the Muskingum Watershed Conservancy District, and the Stark County Commissioners began a cooperative study. The study consisted of hydrologic and hydraulic analyses for selected reaches of 14 streams in Stark County, Ohio: Broad-Monter Creek, Chatham Ditch, East Branch Nimishillen Creek, Fairhope Ditch, Firestone Ditch, Hayden Ditch, Middle Branch Nimishillen Creek, Middle Branch Nimishillen Creek Tributary Number 1, Nimishillen Creek, Reemsnyder Ditch, Sherrick Run, unnamed stream, West Branch Nimishillen Creek, and Zimber Ditch. The study totaled nearly 50 miles of stream reaches.
Instantaneous peak streamflows for floods with 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, and 0.2-percent and 1-percent plus annual exceedance probabilities were estimated using historical streamflow data from the streamgages Nimishillen Creek at North Industry, Ohio (U.S. Geological Survey station number 03118500), and Middle Branch Nimishillen Creek at Canton, Ohio (U.S. Geological Survey station number 03118000), regional flood regression equations, and streamflow urbanization techniques.
The annual exceedance probability streamflows were then used in a Hydrologic Engineering Center-River Analysis System step-backwater model to determine water-surface profiles, flood-inundation boundaries for the 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, and 0.2-percent and 1-percent plus annual exceedance probability floods, and a regulatory floodway along a selected reach of each stream. Model input included DEM-derived cross sections supplemented with field surveys of open channel cross sections and hydraulic structures, field estimates of roughness values, and annual exceedance probability flood estimates from regional regression equations and historical streamflow data. Flood-inundation boundaries were mapped for the 1- and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probability floods and a regulatory floodway for each stream reach.

The Organ Mountains-Desert Peaks National Monument (Monument) in southern New Mexico was established in 2014. Given anticipated future demands in the Monument for recreation, livestock grazing, and maintenance of rights-of-way (for example, pipelines and powerlines), the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) needs a better understanding of the current soil and water resources and how infrastructure improvements could affect these resources and the watershed. Specifically, the BLM is concerned with infiltration and erosion and their relations to existing or planned infrastructure, such as roads, campgrounds, location of livestock grazing, and rights-of-way. Alternatives to the current land-use conditions, land-management practices, and infrastructure will be assessed by BLM to best protect Monument resources. The U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the BLM, conducted a study to assess the soil and water resources within the Monument to provide an inventory and compilation of natural-resource information needed by resource managers for the BLM’s land-use planning process for this new national monument. The overall objectives of this study were to (1) compile and interpret existing soil- and water-resource data for the Monument and (2) provide a basic assessment of the surface hydrological effects of selected alternatives to current land use and infrastructure. Data were compiled by using geographic information system software and evaluated for hydrologic and landscape properties that influence infiltration, runoff, and erosion. The effects of changing vegetation were simulated by using different scenarios in the Rangeland Hydrology and Erosion Model. Results of this model indicate areas where soil loss or runoff may occur.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the California State Water Resources Control Board, is evaluating several questions about oil and gas development and groundwater resources in California, including (1) the location of groundwater resources; (2) the proximity of oil and gas operations and groundwater and the geologic materials between them; (3) the location of evidence (or no evidence) of fluids from oil and gas sources in groundwater; and (4) the pathways or processes responsible when fluids from oil and gas sources are present in groundwater (U.S. Geological Survey, 2019). As part of this evaluation, the USGS installed a multiple-well monitoring site in the southern San Joaquin Valley near Lost Hills, California, adjacent to the Lost Hills oil field. Data collected at the Lost Hills multiple-well monitoring site (LHSP) provide information about the geology, hydrology, geophysics, and geochemistry of the aquifer system, thus enhancing understanding of relations between adjacent groundwater and the Lost Hills oil field in an area where there is little groundwater data. This report presents construction information for the LHSP and initial geohydrologic data collected from the site.

As runoff flows over the land or impervious surfaces (paved streets, parking lots, and building roofs), it accumulates debris, chemicals, sediment, and other contaminants that can adversely affect water quality if the runoff discharge remains untreated. Pathogens, commonly measured using fecal indicator bacteria such as Escherichia coli, enterococci, or fecal coliform, are the most-frequent cause of water-quality impairment in rivers and streams in the United States. Rapid Creek originates in the western Black Hills area and flows east through Rapid City, South Dakota, to its mouth at the Cheyenne River. The water quality of Rapid Creek is important because the reach that flows through Rapid City is a valuable spawning area for a self-sustaining trout fishery, is actively used for recreation, and is a seasonal municipal water supply for the City of Rapid City. These uses (fishery, recreation, and water supply) are considered beneficial uses by the South Dakota Department of Environment and Natural Resources. Numerical criteria have been established for total suspended solids and Escherichia coli concentrations, among other water-quality constituents, for these beneficial uses. The objectives of this study were to improve the method by which fecal indicator bacteria and total suspended solids are quantified in the urban drainages within Rapid City and to provide information that helps identify origins of fecal indicator bacteria and total suspended solids. This information can be used in hydrologic models to estimate fecal indicator bacteria and total suspended solid loading from certain infrastructure elements in urban environments.
Stormwater samples analyzed for Escherichia coli, total suspended solids, specific conductance, and pH were collected in three drainage basin flowpaths within Rapid City: Jackson, Wildwood, and the Eco Prayer Park. Data-collection activities for this study focused on upgradient urban flowpath elements during rainfall events. This approach builds upon previous stormwater assessments that characterized the water quality in urban basin outlets near the downstream end of the stormwater flowpaths. Within each flowpath group, 4–6 sites were selected to represent the various infrastructure elements of the runoff process. These elements included roof downspouts, parking lots, street curbs and gutters, open channels, underground storm sewers, and stormwater ponds or best-management practice facilities.
In general, the concentrations of Escherichia coli and total suspended solids increased in the downstream direction for all flowpath sites. The wash-off process after the first flush is evident for total suspended solids and specific conductance; however, Escherichia coli concentrations did not necessarily follow the same pattern. Escherichia coli concentrations in the latter part of the runoff period were similar to or greater than the initial concentrations of the first set of samples. Stormwater-quality data were summarized by infrastructure type (roof downspout, parking lot, street curb, and channel/storm sewer) to provide information about approximate water-quality concentrations originating at the upper end of urban flowpaths. Escherichia coli and total suspended solid concentrations were lowest in samples collected from locations most isolated from human influence (roof downspouts); the median concentrations at these sites were 4 most probable number per 100 milliliters and 15 milligrams per liter, respectively. The delivery potential of fecal indicator bacteria and sediment from parking lots and street curbs was similar; median concentrations of Escherichia coli and total suspended solids were around 150–220 most probable number per 100 milliliters and 56–86 milligrams per liter, respectively. The downstream receiving channels and storm sewers where stormwater was aggregated typically contained the highest Escherichia coli concentrations (median was 1,800 most probable number per 100 milliliters), but the total suspended solid concentrations were similar to upstream elements in the flowpath (median was 69 milligrams per liter). The data collected from this study demonstrate that stormwater is contaminated with fecal indicator bacteria upon initial contact with impervious surfaces and highlight the importance of controlling the volume of stormwater discharges into receiving waterbodies via storage structures and pervious elements. Diluting stormwater with high concentrations of Escherichia coli with the receiving water’s (Rapid Creek) lower concentration of Escherichia coli is likely the primary mechanism for meeting the beneficial-use criterion threshold of 235 most probable number per 100 milliliters. Although total suspended solid concentrations in the upper parts of the basin (parking lots and street curbs) also begin at concentrations (56 to 86 milligrams per liter) above the beneficial-use criterion for Rapid Creek (53 milligrams per liter), current stormwater-control practices (storage ponds, swales, and wetlands) may be able to reduce suspended-sediment concentrations to meet this threshold.
