Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. Two maps, compiled at 1:1,000,000 scale, depict mean annual runoff, precipitation, and evapotranspiration in the part of the United States east of Cleveland, Ohio and north of the southern limit of glaciation. The maps are mutually consistent in that runoff equals precipitation minus evapotranspiration everywhere. The runoff map is based on records of streamflow from 503 watersheds in the United States and southernmost Canada, adjusted to represent [...]

Purpose

Any application involving the need for digital regional runoff, precipitation, or evapotranspiration values. Possible uses include spatial data layer extraction, clipping, cartographic and illustrative display, estimation of amounts of water available for aquifer recharge, surface-water and ground- water modeling, and other analytical or comparative mapping.
