Abstract

Project objective was to understand water-related constraints affecting conventional powerplant operations, specifically coal-fired power plants. Of concern were threats related to drought and flood affecting both water supply and ability of plant to discharge wastewater. Also of interest were adaptive measures taken to mitigate identified threats. This spreadsheet contains the responses provided by the power plant operators and owners. Data have been "sanitized" (e.g., random plant ID, binned location and generation capacity information) to ensure anonymity of individual power plants.

Gulf of Mexico Risk Analysis Database (GoMRAD)

Dataset Schooley, Catherine ; Mark-Moser, MacKenzie ; Bauer, Jennifer ; ...

The Gulf of Mexico Risk Analysis Database is comprehensive Esri geodatabase of vector layers, raster layers, and tables curated for risk analysis within the offshore Gulf of Mexico. Datasets include bathymetry, seafloor characteristics (channels, anomalies, faults, etc.), MetOcean data (wind speed, wave height, etc.), ocean current data, sediment data, and machine learning training regions used in NETL's Ocean & Geohazard Analysis (OGA) tool. This database serves as a compliment to the OGA tool by providing many of the datasets used in the design of the OGA tool, including regions used for machine learning. This database also serves as a valuablemore »« less
Water Atlas Features Database

Dataset Tidwell, Vincent ; Jeffers, Rebecca

Water availability was mapped across the United States and considers multiple sources of fresh water including fresh surface and groundwater, wastewater and brackish groundwater. This dataset includes cost estimates to access, treat and convey each unique source of water. This submission contains a zip file with the Water Atlas Features Database (as an ArcGIS geodatabase).
NEWTS USGS Brackish Water Database

Dataset Wenzlick, Madison ; Siefert, Nicholas ; BELARBI, Zineb

Data from the USGS Brackish Water Database on brackish water compositions from across the US. Data has been filtered for high salinity and completeness of data attributes. Data has been transposed and converted for ease of input into aqueous chemistry modeling software including OLI Systems and Geochemist's Workbench. Original data from: Qi, S.L., and Harris, A.C., 2017, Geochemical Database for the Brackish Groundwater Assessment of the United States: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F72F7KK1.

Harmonized Database of Western U.S. Water Rights (HarDWR)

Dataset Lisk, Matthew ; Grogan, Danielle ; Zuidema, Shan ; ...

From Lisk et al. (2024): "In the arid and semi-arid western U.S., access to water is regulated through a legal system of water rights. Individuals, companies, organizations, municipalities, and tribal entities have documents that declare their water rights. State water regulatory agencies collate and maintain these records, which can be used in legal disputes over access to water. While these records are publicly available data in all western U.S. states, the data have not yet been readily available in digital form from all states. Furthermore, there are many differences in data format, terminology, and definitions between state water regulatory agencies.more »« less
