This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides continuously measured water-quality data collected from four Indian Creek sites in Johnson County, Kansas during July 22-25, 2014 and August 21-27, 2015. Water-quality monitors were used to measure water temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, specific conductance, turbidity, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, and nitrate at fifteen-minute intervals. This data release was produced in compliance with the federal open-data requirements as a way to make scientific products associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public. This dataset includes all continuously-measured data collected at short-term fixed site locations as part of a study to describe the spatiotemporal variability of nutrients in Indian Creek.

Continuous water-quality monitors were used to measure water temperature, specific conductance, pH, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, nitrate, and fluorescent dissolved organic matter (fDOM) at 30-second intervals along a 13.3-kilometer reach of Indian Creek. This data release was produced in compliance with the federal open-data requirements as a way to make scientific products associated with USGS research efforts and publications available to the public. This dataset includes all continuously (30-second intervals) measured spatial data collected as part of a study to describe the spatiotemporal variability of nutrients in Indian Creek.

Velocity and water-quality surveys were completed along an approximately 71-mile reach of the Ohio River between Markland Locks and Dam (river mile 531.5) and McAlpine Locks and Dam (river mile 606.8) on October 27–November 4, 2016 (survey #1), and June 26–29, 2017 (survey #2). Water-quality data collected in this reach included surface measurements and vertical profiles of water temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity, chlorophyll, and phycocyanin. Streamflow and velocity data were collected simultaneous to the water-quality data at cross-sections and along longitudinal lines (corresponding to the water-quality surface measurements) and at selected stationary locations (corresponding to the water-quality vertical profiles). All velocity and water-quality data were georeferenced with a differential GPS receiver with submeter accuracy. The data were collected to understand variability of flow and water-quality conditions relative to simulated reaches of the Ohio River and to aid in identifying parts of the reach that may provide conditions favorable to spawning and recruitment habitat for Asian carp.

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Data Release provides continuously-measured water-quality data collected from two sites on Milford Lake, Kansas, during July 26-27 and August 30-31, 2015. All data are reported as raw measured values and are not rounded to USGS significant figures. Water-quality monitors were used to measure water temperature, specific conductance, turbidity, pH, chlorophyll, phycocyanin, and dissolved oxygen at fifteen-minute intervals. This dataset includes all continuously measured data collected at two short-term, fixed-site locations as part of a study to evaluate the spatial variability of harmful algal blooms in Milford Lake, Kansas.
