Stream Survey Data for Mixed Agricultural Streams in Pennsylvania and Maryland (2023)

U. S. Geological Survey (USGS) scientists completed a stream surveying campaign from the 3rd of April to the 21st of April in 2023 at 100-meter reaches throughout 30 streams throughout southern Pennsylvania and northern Maryland. In each stream reach, the following survey measurements were made or attempted: three representative channel cross sections, water surface elevation at the top and bottom of each reach, and longitudinal thalweg point data. The survey data will be used with additional geomorphological measurements and habitat information to assess habitat quality of these streams.
