May 18, 2015
SPARROW, a modeling tool for the regional interpretation of water-quality monitoring data. The model relates in-stream water-quality measurements to spatially referenced characteristics of watersheds, including contaminant sources and factors influencing terrestrial and aquatic transport. SPARROW empirically estimates the origin and fate of contaminants in river networks and quantifies uncertainties in model predictions.

Recently improved inventories, brought to you by the Southeast Aquatic Resources Partnership (SARP) and partners, enable us to describe, understand, and prioritize aquatic barriers for removal, restoration, and mitigation. Through this tool and others, we empower you with information on documented barriers and standardized methods to prioritize barriers of interest for restoration efforts.

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Quality Assessment Program (NAWQA) monitors water quality conditions in study units across the nation and stores all collected chemical and physical water quality data in the NAWQA Data Warehouse. The NAWQA Data Export provides an easy way to access data stored in the NAWQA Data Warehouse through form-based workbook queries as well as through standalone web services.

The Multistate Aquatic Resources Information System (MARIS) is a cooperative effort between state and federal agencies to share fisheries information collected as part of ongoing sampling programs. MARIS data is owned and provided by participating state natural resource management agencies, while technical support and hosting are currently provided by the Core Science Analytics and Synthesis Program of the U.S. Geological Survey. Acting through a MARIS Steering Committee, partners collaborate on the content, design, and administration of MARIS.

May 18, 2015
The National Wetlands Inventory (NWI) has been producing wetland maps and geospatial wetland data for the United States since the mid-1970s. The focus has been on two fronts: 1) map or digital database preparation and delivery to the public, and 2) projecting and reporting on national wetland trends using a probability-based sampling design. Maps and geospatial data developed by the NWI is available online and can be downloaded by HUC 8 Watershed Boundary or by State. The data is downloaded as a .zip file that contains the following layers: wetlands polygon data, wetlands project metadata (includes image dates and project information), wetlands historic map information, riparian polygon data, riparian project metadata (includes image dates and project information), historic wetlands, historic wetlands project metadata (includes image dates and project information), and USGS HUC 8 Watershed Boundary.

The U.S. Drought Monitor, established in 1999, is a weekly map of drought conditions that is produced jointly by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, the U.S. Department of Agriculture, and the National Drought Mitigation Center (NDMC) at the University of Nebraska-Lincoln. The U.S. Drought Monitor, a composite index that includes many indicators, is the drought map that policymakers and media use in discussions of drought and in allocating drought relief. U.S. Drought Monitor maps come out every Thursday morning at 8:30 eastern time, based on data through 7 a.m. the preceding Tuesday. The map is based on measurements of climatic, hydrologic and soil conditions as well as reported impacts and observations from more than 350 contributors around the country.

The Soil Moisture/Soil Temperature (SM/ST) Pilot Project, a cooperative effort by the Resource Inventory Division and the Soil Survey Division of the Natural Resources Conservation Service, was designed to examine network communications, sensors, data collection electronics, station maintenance, data management, system interfaces, and management of a large cooperative nationwide, comprehensive soil moisture and climate information system. SCAN (Soil Climate Analysis Network) is a continuous climate monitoring program that is an outgrowth of the SM/ST Pilot Project.

Geospatial data and services are critical elements needed to meet the mission of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service (USFWS). Geographic Information Systems (GIS), Global Positioning Systems (GPS), and remote sensing are the primary elements which fall under the geospatial data and services umbrella. This site was created to enable the USFWS to be effective in managing geospatial data resources and technology to successfully deliver geospatial services in support of the Service’s mission.
