Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model was used to aid in the interpretation of monitoring data and simulate streamflow and water-quality conditions in streams across the Southwestern Region of the Unites States. SPARROW is a hybrid empirical/process-based mass balance model that can be used to estimate the major sources and environmental factors that affect the long-term supply, transport, and fate of contaminants in streams. The spatially explicit model structure is defined by a river reach network coupled with contributing catchments. The model is calibrated by statistically relating watershed sources and transport-related properties to monitoring-based water-quality [...]

Purpose

This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files needed to reproduce the model results described in Wise, Anning, and Miller (2019, https://doi.org/10.3133/sir20195106). Model input and output text files provided here can be linked (via the comid attribute) to the shapefiles that are also provided for displaying data as maps.
