Summary

Watershed Data Management (WDM; Flynn and others, 1995) database file WBDR13.WDM is updated with the quality-assured and quality-controlled meteorological and hydrologic data for the period October 1, 2013, through September 30, 2016, following the guidelines documented in Bera (2017) and is renamed as WBDR16.WDM. Meteorological data other than precipitation (wind speed, solar radiation, air temperature, dewpoint temperature, and potential evapotranspiration) were copied from ARGN16.WDM and stored in this WDM file. Errors have been found in each of ARGNXX.WDM prior to Water Year (WY) 2023. XX represents last two digits of a WY. A WY is the 12-month period, October 1 through September 30, in which it ends. The database file WBDR16.WDM [...]

Purpose

The data sets in this database may be used as input to the Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model or other similar rainfall-runoff model for simulating streamflow in DuPage County and nearby areas in northeastern Illinois. This database will be available to the public and other stakeholders for doing similar simulations or meteorological analyses.
