This data release includes a table of 87Sr/86Sr, 234U/238U, δ2H, and δ18O isotope data used to evaluate groundwater- and surface-water-sources contributing to water in perennial wetlands near the mouth of Potrero Creek within the Upper Santa Cruz Basin near Nogales, AZ. Interpretations of those data are discussed in the pamphlet accompanying the USGS Scientific Investigations Map SIM-XXXXX

Surface water samples were collected in the field by staff from the California Department of Water Resources and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation at approximately 40 site locations once per month during calendar year 2023. Water isotope composition of each field sample was measured at the University of California Davis Stable Isotope Facility using GasBench-Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometry techniques.

Water stable isotope data (both hydrogen and oxygen isotopes of H2O) from the Snoqualmie River Basin from 2017-2018. This data was paired with USGS gauge data so includes watershed characteristics at the gaging stations near where water isotopes were collected. Water isotopes were collected throughout the basin to cover the range of elevation and stream sizes. Water isotopes were collected 5 times at all locations, and approximately twice monthly at the main stem of the Snoqualmie and larger tributaries. This dataset is associated with the following publication: McGill, L., J.R. Brooks, and A. Steel. Spatial and temporal dynamics of water sources in a mountain river basin inferred through δ2H and δ18O of water. Hydrological Processes. John Wiley & Sons, Ltd., Indianapolis, IN, USA, 35(3): e14063, (2021).

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in cooperation with the California State Water Resources Control Board collected produced water and gas samples in the Poso Creek, Midway-Sunset, and Buena Vista Oil Fields in Kern County in 2020 and 2021. Sampled sites included oil wells; injectate from tanks, pipelines, and injection wells where produced water from many wells, after removal of oil, is stored or transported before underground injection; and integrated produced water from multiple oil wells collected from pipelines before oil removal. This digital dataset contains the site information, analyzing laboratories and methods, and water and gas chemistry and quality-control results for these samples. Chemistry results include concentrations of dissolved noble and hydrocarbon gases and their isotopic composition; concentrations of inorganic constituents including salinity, major and minor ions, trace elements, and nutrients; dissolved organic carbon and optical properties of dissolved organic carbon; stable isotopes of water, strontium dissolved in water, and carbon in dissolved inorganic carbon; and radium isotopes. Samples were analyzed in the field and by eight laboratories operated or contracted by the USGS.

These data are chemical analyses of discrete samples of groundwater, stream base flow, and springs collected to support a U.S. Geological Survey study to estimate the timing and source of recharge to the basalt groundwater system in the Umatilla River basin, Oregon. Categories of data include: (1) site information (2) field measurements, (3) tracers of groundwater age and source, and (4) dissolved noble gases. These data were collected during August 26, 2014 – September 13, 2022. Data are in .csv file format.

This data release contains site information and potential explanatory factor data for 1,899 groundwater sites. These sites were used to assess groundwater quality in aquifers used for domestic and public drinking water supply in the southeastern San Joaquin Valley. The southeastern San Joaquin Valley (SESJV) study unit consists of five study areas whose boundaries are defined by the eponymous California Department of Water Resources groundwater subbasins of the San Joaquin Valley groundwater basin: Madera-Chowchilla, Kings, Kaweah, Tule, and Tulare Lake. The sites consist of 198 wells representing the domestic-supply aquifer and 1,701 wells representing the public-supply aquifer. The domestic-supply aquifer wells were sampled in 2013-2015 by the USGS for either the California Groundwater Ambient Monitoring and Assessment Program Priority Basin Project (GAMA-PBP) or the USGS National Water Quality Assessment project (NAWQA). The public-supply aquifer wells were either sampled by the USGS for the GAMA-PBP in 2005-2018 or have water-quality data in the California State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water (SWRCB-DDW) public database. The data types in this data release include site identification and location, well construction and lithology data, land use characteristics, groundwater age and oxidation-reduction classifications and aridity indices. Not all sites have data for all fields. Water-quality data for the sites are available from U.S. Geological Survey (2023), and California State Water Resources Control Board Division of Drinking Water (2023). The study design and the assessment results are presented in Burow and others (2024).

This data set consists of chemical and stable isotope data obtained through the analysis of discrete water samples collected from 14 fixed sampling locations in the northern Sacramento-San Joaquin Delta at roughly monthly intervals between April 2011 and November 2012.

This is a release of data presented in the report "Binational Study of the Transboundary San Pedro Aquifer", Callegary and others, 2016: Callegary, J.B., Minjárez Sosa, I., Tapia Villaseñor, E.M., dos Santos, P., Monreal Saavedra, R., Grijalva Noriega, F.J., Huth, A.K., Gray, F., Scott, C.A., Megdal, S.B., Oroz Ramos, L.A., Rangel Medina, M., Leenhouts, J.M., 2016, Binational Study of the Transboundary San Pedro Aquifer: International Boundary and Water Commission. The United States and Mexico share waters in a number of hydrological basins and aquifers that cross the International Boundary. Both the United States and Mexico recognize that, in a region of scarce water and expanding populations, better scientific understanding of water quantity and quality in these aquifer systems would benefit decision makers planning and managing water resources on both sides of the border. A focus on the sustainability of the aquifer and the San Pedro River which it supports would benefit both Mexico and the United States. These include the fact that the aquifer is transboundary in nature, the river has an elevated ecological value because of the riparian ecosystem it sustains, and that water resources are needed to permit continued development. Recognizing these goals, an agreement was made to integrate hydrologic and other pertinent data from both countries and to proceed with this joint binational study of the San Pedro River transboundary aquifer.
