Salinity yield modeling spatial data for the Upper Colorado River Basin, USA

These data (vector and raster) were compiled for spatial modeling of salinity yield sources in the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) and describe different scales of watersheds in the Upper Colorado River Basin (UCRB) for use in salinity yield modeling. Salinity yield refers to how much dissolved salts are picked up in surface waters that could be expected to be measured at the watershed outlet point annually. The vector polygons are small catchments developed originally for use in SPARROW modeling that break up the UCRB into 10,789 catchments linked together through a synthetic stream network. The catchments were used for a machine learning based salinity model and attributed with the new results in these vector GIS datasets. Although [...]
