An analytical framework was designed to estimate water use associated with continuous oil and gas (COG) development in support of the U.S. Geological Survey Water Availability and Use Science Program. This framework was developed to better understand the relation between the production of COG resources for energy and the amount of water needed to sustain this type of energy development in the United States. The total mean undiscovered, technically recoverable volume of COG has increased, highlighting the continued need to develop approaches to better characterize water use associated with COG development.
The analytical framework can be used to estimate water use associated with COG development for three water-use components—direct, indirect, and ancillary water use—that are related to the life cycle of COG development. Direct water use is defined as water used in a wellbore to complete a well, including the water used for drilling, cementing, stimulating, and maintaining the well during production. Indirect water use is the water used at or near the well site, including water used for dust abatement, for cleaning equipment, and for crew and staff use. Ancillary water use is all other water used during the life cycle of COG development that is not categorized as direct or indirect, such as additional local or regional water use resulting from a change (for example, population) related to COG development. The analytical framework includes the data inputs, the processes involved in estimating the water-use coefficients and analyzing their uncertainties, and the outputs. The analytical framework was developed as an R script, which contains the statistical models used to estimate water-use components.
The availability of data across COG reservoirs in the United States is variable and presents challenges for estimating water use for extracting COG from their reservoirs; thus, the R script can be modified for the types of data available within a COG reservoir, the extent and resolution of data available for each water-use component, and the desired output of the water-use assessment. The script was written so that the units of the data in the script were standardized. Water-use estimates were simulated for the mean and 10th, 50th, and 90th percentiles of the data distributions. Uncertainties were quantified with confidence intervals for the estimated coefficients. Uncertainty for estimated or simulated data can be calculated with the R script by providing a range of representative values that are within the appropriate confidence intervals of the mean of the data.

The dynamics of slow landslide motion can predispose oversteepened and extended slide regions to debris-flow initiation. For more than 20 years, our real-time monitoring, combined with repeat high-precision GPS surveys, of the Cleveland Corral landslide complex, California, USA, reveals that debris flows initiate from slow-moving kinematic elements of this complex. Different slide elements move in different wet years, and all remain dormant in dry years. To explore controls on landslide-element kinematics, we use triaxial testing to define the critical state behavior of the landslide material, and use a large-diameter sampling ring to determine in situ material porosities in both extensional and compressional regions of the slide. Regions undergoing extension contain materials looser than their critical state, potentially aiding liquefaction and debris-flow mobilization from shallow, secondary slides. Although intense rainfall serves as a trigger for debris-flow initiation, slow deformation of the larger landslide promotes debris-flow formation by oversteeepening toe and lateral margins and by preferentially extending, and effectively loosening, material in these steep regions.

These drawdown operations have also mobilized substantial quantities of predominantly fine (<2 mm) reservoir sediment as well as some coarser gravels. To assess the potential impact of reservoir sediment erosion and transport on downstream reach morphology and habitats, linkages between reservoir sedimentation in Fall Creek Lake and drawdown-related reservoir erosion are inferred from geomorphic mapping and volumetric change analyses developed from high resolution aerial photographs and digital elevation models of the empty reservoir. Recent and historical drawdown operations have helped maintain a thalweg in much of Fall Creek Lake, constraining most coarse-grained sediment transport and re-deposition, whereas fine-grained deposition has mainly occurred on the former floodplain and lowermost reservoir reaches. Fine-grained sediment deposits are thickest and bury pre-dam morphology immediately upstream of the dam where they are accessible to fluvial erosion during streambed drawdown operations. Farther from the dam, where pre-dam morphology has not been buried, erosion is limited to sediment accumulation in the reservoir thalweg and minor tributary and ‘drawdown’ channels. In former floodplain regions of the reservoir not adjacent to the thalweg, thicker sediment deposits are inaccessible to fluvial erosion at full streambed drawdown. Altogether, these findings highlight controls on patterns and processes of reservoir erosion during drawdowns. This understanding of long-term sedimentation and streambed-drawdown erosion at Fall Creek Lake allows better evaluation and anticipation of the timing, magnitude, and sediment characteristics delivered to downstream reaches.

The study area supports freshwater emergent wetlands and freshwater ponds. The settlement states that CMI will provide the land and a monetary settlement to support the restoration of the wetlands on the property. To best manage the study area, the BLM requires an understanding of potential effects of climate variability and groundwater withdrawals on the wetland function. This study, completed by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the BLM, provides an initial hydrologic characterization of the study area, which included literature review, collection of groundwater-level and aqueous-chemistry data, completion of a vegetation survey, and preliminary data analysis. The data compiled, collected, and analyzed as part of this study indicate that the wetlands within the study area are groundwater fed and that the water maintaining the wetlands is modern. Surface-water levels in the pond and groundwater levels in the surrounding wetland fluctuate seasonally. The hydraulic gradient in the study area is from northeast to southwest. Evapotranspiration is a main driver of water demand within the study area.

This study explores the feasibility and utility of integrating environmental DNA (eDNA) assessments of species occurrences into the United States (U.S.) Geological Survey’s national streamgage network. We used an existing network of five gages in southwest Idaho to explore the type of information that could be gained as well as the associated costs and limitations. Hydrologic technicians were trained in eDNA sampling protocols and they collected samples during routine monthly visits to streamgages over an entire water year (2016). We analyzed the eDNA in the filtered water samples to determine the presence of two fish species: bull trout and rainbow trout. We then modeled the spatiotemporal distribution of each species using discharge and temperature data. To assess the influence of the spatial distribution of the gages on the biological information obtained, we also collected eDNA samples from locations between the gages three times during the water year. We found eDNA monitoring at the five gages provided meaningful information about the distribution of both species, especially when detection probabilities accounted for variations in temperature and discharge. Sampling between the gages provided additional information about bull trout distribution — the rarer of the two species. Our study suggests the integration of eDNA sampling into a streamgage network is feasible and could provide a novel and powerful source of biological information for riverine ecosystems in the U.S.

Although they are vital for local communities, these roads are expensive to maintain and may cause environmental damage through sediment and dust pollution (e.g., 2). Among aggregate-surfaced roads, locally available materials are often used as a surface wearing course, with little or no testing and sometimes no formal specification. The materials vary widely in quality and may deteriorate quickly. As a result, road managers may be forced to increase the frequency of maintenance grading and aggregate replacement to compensate for the poor performance. Improving the quality of surface aggregate on unpaved roads is one strategy for increasing road performance while also reducing environmental impacts. Although higher-quality aggregates require greater up-front investment, they can result in lower overall life-cycle costs by extending road life and reducing maintenance costs.
Driving Surface Aggregate (DSA) is an aggregate specification developed by the Pennsylvania State University Center for Dirt and Gravel Road Studies that is designed to achieve maximum compaction and resist erosion. The gradation of DSA, coupled with recommended optimum moisture and placement guidelines, results in a smoother, more tightly bound surface that preserves fine material rather than allowing it to escape as sediment or dust. In previous studies, DSA has been shown to reduce sediment runoff by 80-90% (3) and dust production by up to 90% (4) compared to existing road surface gradations. Although DSA has been used extensively in the state of Pennsylvania, USA, the specification is almost unknown elsewhere. The objective of this study was to demonstrate the benefits and limitations of DSA when deployed across a wider geographic area. We installed road sections of DSA at two federal lands sites in the eastern United States. Sediment runoff, dust production, and road surface condition on these sections were measured approximately 12 months post-construction. At both sites, DSA reduced sediment runoff by up to 91%, relative to traditional aggregates. At one site in Indiana, DSA also reduced dust production and aggregate loss. At the other site in Vermont, DSA and traditional aggregate sections performed similarly in dust production and road condition. Overall, this study 1) demonstrates that DSA can be an effective and environmentally responsible aggregate choice for unpaved roads, and 2) provides information on site conditions (e.g., roads near headwater streams) under which DSA is likely to be particularly beneficial.

Downscaled regional climate models, informed by a multimodel ensemble of global climate models provided projections of future climate conditions for Guam. These projected climate conditions provided input to surface-water and groundwater models developed for Guam’s hydrology. Guam’s water resources in a future climate condition (2080–99) are projected to diminish relative to the recent climate condition. Projected average temperature increases, and average rainfall decreases will lead to reduced streamflow in southern Guam and reduced groundwater recharge to the Northern Guam Lens Aquifer (NGLA). Projected average temperatures in southern Guam will increase about 5.8 °F (3.22 °C), overall rainfall will decrease about 7 percent, and streamflow will consequently decrease 18 percent in important areas of southern Guam. Similarly, across the NGLA, future groundwater recharge will be 19 percent less than estimated recharge from 2012. Reduced future streamflow will decrease water availability from the Fena Valley Reservoir; however, the reservoir is expected to be able to supply water at recent demand rates without lowering the reservoir level to the elevation of the water-supply intakes throughout the simulated period of a future climate. A twelve-year simulation indicates that the reservoir can supply about twice the 2018 demand without lowering the reservoir level to the water-supply intakes. By following mitigation strategies to increase reservoir water availability, the withdrawal rate can be increased by 1.7 percent if the water-supply intakes are lowered 5 ft, by 3.5 percent if the spillway height is raised 5 ft, and by 5.3 percent if both strategies are combined. Higher sea level and reduced future recharge will decrease water availability from the NGLA. An index of composite chloride concentration from production wells increases to 300 milligrams per liter (mg/L) for future climate conditions and at 2010 withdrawal rates, compared with 130 mg/L under historic climate conditions. Most of this increase is due to reduced recharge as higher (+3.2 ft) sea level only has a small role in increasing withdrawn water salinity. A redistributed withdrawal scenario in which the composite chloride concentration is 290 mg/L offers only slight improvement. Should future droughts reduce recharge proportionally to the decreases observed during historic droughts, the composite concentration would be about 900 mg/L, and more than 70 percent of Guam’s production wells would produce water with a composite concentration greater than 500 mg/L. Potential mitigation strategies for increasing the potable yield of the NGLA in a future climate include reducing depths of deep production wells and reducing the withdrawal rates in selected wells projected to have higher chloride concentrations. Simulations show both strategies are effective in lowering the composite concentration of the withdrawn water.

Each fall, thousands of Rocky Mountain Sandhill Cranes and other migratory birds congregate at the Bosque del Apache National Wildlife Refuge in New Mexico’s Rio Grande Valley in search of wintering habitat. As such, this refuge is known as one of the premier destinations for bird viewing and photography in the United States. Using contingent valuation data, this case study quantifies the value associated with migratory bird recreation at this refuge to be \\$7.5 million in 2010. It is estimated that this annual value increased by more than \\$6.4 million in 2017 due to growth in annual refuge visitation.

One such forest ecosystem service is maple syrup, which is primarily derived from Acer saccharum (sugar maple), currently an abundant and widespread tree species in eastern North America. Two climate sensitive components of sap affect syrup production: sugar content and sap flow. The sugar in maple sap derives from carbohydrate stores influenced by prior year growing season conditions. Sap flow is tied to freeze/thaw cycles during early spring. Predicting climate effects on syrup production thus requires integrating observations across scales and biological processes. We observed sap at 6 sugar maple stands spanning sugar maple’s latitudinal range over 2¬–6 years to predict the role of climate variation on sugar content and sap flow. We found that the timing of sap collection advanced by 4.3 days for every 1 °C increase in March mean temperature, sap volume peaked at a January-May mean temperature of 1 °C, and sap sugar content declined by 0.1 °Brix for every 1 °C increase in previous May-October mean temperature. Using these empirical relationships, we projected that the sap collection season midpoint will be 1 month earlier and sap sugar content will decline by 0.7 °Brix across sugar maple’s range by the year 2100 in an RCP 8.5 climate change scenario. The region of maximum sap flow is expected to shift northward by 400km, from near the 43rd parallel to the 48th parallel by 2100. Our findings suggest climate change will have profound effects on syrup yield across most of sugar maple’s range; drastic shifts in the timing of the tapping season accompanied by flat to moderate increases in syrup yield per tap in Canada contrast with declines in syrup yield and higher frequencies of poor syrup production years across most of the U.S. range.","language":"English","publisher":"Elsevier","doi":"10.1016/j.foreco.2019.05.045","usgsCitation":"Rapp, J.M., Lutz, D.A., Huish, R.H., Dufour, B., Ahmed, S., Morelli, T.L., and Stinson, K.A., 2019, Finding the sweet spot: Shifting climate optima for maple syrup production in North America: Forest Ecology and Management, v. 448, p. 187-197, https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2019.05.045.","productDescription":"11 p.","startPage":"187","endPage":"197","ipdsId":"IP-104958","costCenters":[{"id":5080,"text":"Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":459695,"rank":0,"type":{"id":40,"text":"Open Access Publisher Index Page"},"url":"https://doi.org/10.1016/j.foreco.2019.05.045","text":"Publisher Index Page"},{"id":376779,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"}],"volume":"448","noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Rapp, Joshua M.","contributorId":200307,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Rapp","given":"Joshua","email":"","middleInitial":"M.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":794107,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Lutz, David A.","contributorId":232418,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Lutz","given":"David","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":794108,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Huish, Ryan H.","contributorId":232414,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Huish","given":"Ryan","email":"","middleInitial":"H.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":794109,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"Dufour, Boris","contributorId":232415,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Dufour","given":"Boris","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":794110,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4},{"text":"Ahmed, Selena","contributorId":232416,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Ahmed","given":"Selena","email":"","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":794111,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":5},{"text":"Morelli, Toni Lyn 0000-0001-5865-5294 tmorelli@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-5865-5294","contributorId":197458,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Morelli","given":"Toni","email":"tmorelli@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"Lyn","affiliations":[{"id":5080,"text":"Northeast Climate Adaptation Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":411,"text":"National Climate Change and Wildlife Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":794003,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":6},{"text":"Stinson, Kristina A.","contributorId":232417,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"Stinson","given":"Kristina","email":"","middleInitial":"A.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":794112,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":7}]}} ,{"id":70205979,"text":"70205979 - 2019 - Hemidactylus parvimaculatus (Sri Lankan spotted house gecko)","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2019-10-14T11:34:42","indexId":"70205979","displayToPublicDate":"2019-09-30T11:25:49","publicationYear":"2019","noYear":false,"publicationType":{"id":2,"text":"Article"},"publicationSubtype":{"id":10,"text":"Journal Article"},"seriesTitle":{"id":1898,"text":"Herpetological Review","active":true,"publicationSubtype":{"id":10}},"title":"Hemidactylus parvimaculatus (Sri Lankan spotted house gecko)","docAbstract":"USA: LOUISIANA: PLAQUEMINES PARISH: 0.15 km S of the intersection of LA-23 and Jump road, Venice (29.266630°N, 89.35570°W; WGS 84). 2 May 2019.

This chapter focuses on this paradox and addresses how information gained to protect and restore a species in its native range can be used to suppress the same species outside its native range, where it may be invasive. We describe examples of three trout species, Lake Trout, Brown Trout, and Brook Trout, which are managed for the opposing goals of restoration versus suppression, in relation to their opposing roles as both native and non-native species in aquatic communities. We also attempt to develop insights into how this information might be used to accomplish both seemingly incompatible ends.","largerWorkType":{"id":4,"text":"Book"},"largerWorkTitle":"Trout and Char of the World","largerWorkSubtype":{"id":15,"text":"Monograph"},"language":"English","publisher":"American Fisheries Society","isbn":"9781934874547","usgsCitation":"Hansen, M.J., Guy, C.S., Budy, P., and McMahon, T., 2019, Trout as native and non-native species: A management paradox, chap. 19 of Trout and Char of the World, p. 645-684.","productDescription":"40 p.","startPage":"645","endPage":"684","ipdsId":"IP-095921","costCenters":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"links":[{"id":369996,"type":{"id":24,"text":"Thumbnail"},"url":"https://pubs.usgs.gov/thumbnails/outside_thumb.jpg"},{"id":369995,"rank":1,"type":{"id":15,"text":"Index Page"},"url":"https://fisheries.org/bookstore/all-titles/professional-and-trade/55081c/"}],"publishingServiceCenter":{"id":15,"text":"Madison PSC"},"noUsgsAuthors":false,"publicationStatus":"PW","contributors":{"authors":[{"text":"Hansen, Michael J. 0000-0001-8522-3876 michaelhansen@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0001-8522-3876","contributorId":5006,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Hansen","given":"Michael","email":"michaelhansen@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"J.","affiliations":[{"id":324,"text":"Great Lakes Science Center","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735016,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":1},{"text":"Guy, Christopher S. 0000-0002-9936-4781 cguy@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9936-4781","contributorId":2876,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Guy","given":"Christopher","email":"cguy@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"S.","affiliations":[{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":5062,"text":"Office of the Chief Scientist for Ecosystems","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735017,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":2},{"text":"Budy, Phaedra E. 0000-0002-9918-1678 pbudy@usgs.gov","orcid":"https://orcid.org/0000-0002-9918-1678","contributorId":140028,"corporation":false,"usgs":true,"family":"Budy","given":"Phaedra","email":"pbudy@usgs.gov","middleInitial":"E.","affiliations":[{"id":200,"text":"Coop Res Unit Seattle","active":true,"usgs":true},{"id":438,"text":"National Research Program - Western Branch","active":true,"usgs":true}],"preferred":true,"id":735018,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":3},{"text":"McMahon, Thomas E.","contributorId":189425,"corporation":false,"usgs":false,"family":"McMahon","given":"Thomas E.","affiliations":[],"preferred":false,"id":735019,"contributorType":{"id":1,"text":"Authors"},"rank":4}]}} ,{"id":70205617,"text":"sir20195089 - 2019 - Status of groundwater-level altitudes and long-term groundwater-level changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers, Houston-Galveston region, Texas, 2019","interactions":[],"lastModifiedDate":"2019-09-30T14:06:15","indexId":"sir20195089","displayToPublicDate":"2019-09-30T11:08:27","publicationYear":"2019","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":"2019-5089","displayTitle":"Status of Groundwater-Level Altitudes and Long-Term Groundwater-Level Changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper Aquifers, Houston-Galveston Region, Texas, 2019","title":"Status of groundwater-level altitudes and long-term groundwater-level changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers, Houston-Galveston region, Texas, 2019","docAbstract":"Since the early 1900s, most of the groundwater withdrawals in the Houston-Galveston region, Texas, have been from the three primary aquifers that compose the Gulf Coast aquifer system—the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers. Withdrawals from these aquifers are used for municipal supply, commercial and industrial use, and irrigation. This report, prepared by the U.S. Geological Survey in cooperation with the Harris-Galveston Subsidence District, City of Houston, Fort Bend Subsidence District, Lone Star Groundwater Conservation District, and Brazoria County Groundwater Conservation District, is one in an annual series of reports depicting the status of groundwater-level altitudes and long-term groundwater-level changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers in the Houston-Galveston region. This report contains regional-scale maps depicting approximate 2019 groundwater-level altitudes (represented by measurements made during December 2018 through March 2019) and long-term groundwater-level changes in the Chicot, Evangeline, and Jasper aquifers.
In 2019, groundwater-level-altitude contours for the Chicot aquifer ranged from 200 feet (ft) below the North American Vertical Datum of 1988 (hereinafter referred to as “datum”) to 200 ft above datum. The 1977–2019 groundwater-level-change contours for the Chicot aquifer depict a large area of decline in groundwater-level altitudes (100 ft) in northwestern Harris County. The largest rise in groundwater-level altitudes in the Chicot aquifer from 1977 to 2019 (200 ft) was in southeastern Harris County.
In 2019, groundwater-level-altitude contours for the Evangeline aquifer ranged from 300 ft below datum to 200 ft above datum. The 1977–2019 groundwater-level-change contours for the Evangeline aquifer depict broad areas where groundwater-level altitudes either declined or rose. The largest decline in groundwater-level altitudes (280 ft) was in southern Montgomery and northern Harris Counties. The largest rise in groundwater-level altitudes in the Evangeline aquifer from 1977 to 2019 (240 ft) was in southeastern Harris County.
In 2019, groundwater-level-altitude contours for the Jasper aquifer ranged from 200 ft below datum to 250 ft above datum. The 2000–19 groundwater-level-change contours for the Jasper aquifer depict groundwater-level declines throughout most of the study area where groundwater-level-altitude data from the Jasper aquifer were collected, with the largest decline (200 ft) in southern Montgomery County.

The production of Klamath River fall Chinook salmon (Oncorhynchus tshawytscha) in northern California and southern Oregon is thought to be limited by poor survival during freshwater juvenile life stages, in part a result of Ceratonova shasta—a highly infectious disease that can lead to high fish mortality. Higher flushing river flows are thought to affect the concentration of C. shasta spores, and in turn, juvenile salmon infection and mortality. The Stream Salmonid Simulator (S3) model was built to simulate the spatiotemporal dynamics of the growth, movement, and survival of juvenile salmon from spawning through migration to the Pacific Ocean in response to river flow, habitat availability, water temperature, and C. shasta spore concentrations. The S3 model has been calibrated to juvenile fall Chinook salmon abundances at a trap site within the Klamath River, and was specifically designed to provide objective predictions of juvenile salmon abundance and survival in relation to proposed flow management alternatives and resulting fish infection and mortality by C. shasta. Infection by C. shasta in the Klamath River is location specific, occurring in a “disease zone” with high spore concentrations. The spatial extent of this disease zone (from river kilometer 289.6 to 212.9) has been incorporated in the S3 model for the Klamath River, enabling the assessment of disease effects on fish at specific spatial locations such as the trap sampling sites, and for fish that were or were not exposed to the disease zone as they emigrate the Klamath River to the Pacific Ocean.
Given the information gained from field observations on spore concentrations in relation to river flow, deliberations by resource managers resulted in the incorporation of springtime flushing flows in a Proposed Action (PA) scenario developed in part to lower spore concentrations within the disease zone. A Historical (HI) scenario based on the observed flows, temperatures, and spore concentrations from 2004 to 2016 was used to compare and contrast the potential benefits to juvenile salmon from PA flows in relation to the HI conditions.
