This beta version of the Atlas brings together science, data and knowledge on biodiversity, climate change impacts, and equity to help inform and inspire land, water, and wildlife conservation and restoration efforts of individuals, land managers, policymakers, and communities.
2 mar 2019 · We present a conceptual model that explores the relationship of streamflow trends to 15 water-quality parameters at 370 sites across the contiguous United States (US). Our analytical framework uses discrete water-quality data, daily streamflow records, and a statistical model to estimate water-quality trends between 1982 and 2012 and parse ...
3 cze 2020 · Our objectives are to (1) describe the history and ecology of the Wabash River fish ecosystem, (2) compare ecological trends in two midwestern US rivers using published sources, and (3) suggest potential steps for protecting and conserving the Wabash River that could be applied to other large river ecosystems.
A new USGS interactive map provides a long-term look at changes in the quality of our nation’s rivers and streams, using data from over 70 organizations. Go online and see how 51 water-quality metrics and 38 aquatic-life metrics at nearly 1,400 sites have changed over the last 40 years.(Public domain.)
9 wrz 2021 · The effects of restricting accessible water and nonrenewable groundwater pumping have significant impacts in several river basins around the U.S. as nearly 1000 billion m 3 of...
12 cze 2018 · This analysis identifies distinguishing characteristics of cities across the contiguous United States that embrace water conservation policies and allows us to differentiate state-level from MSA-level effects.
The U.S. Geological Survey's Streamer application allows users to explore where their surface water comes from and where it flows to. By clicking on any major stream or river, the user can trace it upstream to its source (s) or downstream to where it joins a larger river or empties into the ocean.
