Estimated low-flow statistics at ungaged stream locations in New Jersey
Summary
Estimates of various low-flow statistics are computed at ungaged stream locations throughout New Jersey. The estimates are needed for water resources permitting, assessment, and management, and are provided upon request. Methods used for the calculation of the streamflows are documented in the reports, “Streamflow Characteristics and Trends in New Jersey, Water Years 1897-2003” (U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5105) and “Implementation of MOVE.1, Censored MOVE.1, and Piecewise MOVE.1 Low-Flow Regressions with Applications at Partial-Record Streamgaging Stations in New Jersey” (U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 2018-1089). To provide a publicly available, citable repository of the computed low-flow [...]
Summary
Estimates of various low-flow statistics are computed at ungaged stream locations throughout New Jersey. The estimates are needed for water resources permitting, assessment, and management, and are provided upon request. Methods used for the calculation of the streamflows are documented in the reports, “Streamflow Characteristics and Trends in New Jersey, Water Years 1897-2003” (U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2005-5105) and “Implementation of MOVE.1, Censored MOVE.1, and Piecewise MOVE.1 Low-Flow Regressions with Applications at Partial-Record Streamgaging Stations in New Jersey” (U.S. Geological Survey Open File Report 2018-1089).
To provide a publicly available, citable repository of the computed low-flow statistics at ungaged locations in New Jersey, the pertinent information of each estimate is made available in an annual data release. The data releases include the stream name, location, method, and intended use of the low-flow statistics computed during the specified water year. The data are provided as both a plain text file and an ArcGIS shapefile format.
This project is made possible through cooperative agreements between the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection (NJDEP) and USGS.
