Summary

The USGS streamflow gaging network that was active in water year 2020 was analyzed with respect to its coverage, resolution, and representation of variables indicating national public interests in streamflow information. The variables used for the analysis are provided for incremental gaged areas (IGAs) and for 12-digit hydrologic unit codes (HUC12) in the United States where available. Plots of the cumulative distributions of the variables for the United States and the contiguous United States are provided as .png files.
