Summary

Data used to predict flow characteristics of transfers of water between hydrologic basins at the hydrologic unit code 8 (HUC8 scale) using tree-based ensemble models—random forest models for Colorado and M5 cubist models for the Northeast Region (parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York)—are presented and documented in this data release. Interbasin transfers (IBTs) of waters are important components of water balances of basins and can have substantial impact on national and (or) regional water availability for a variety of human uses, such as public supply and irrigation. This data release contains all input files necessary to reproduce the results of the flow prediction models described in the associated journal paper (Eng [...]

Purpose

These data were compiled to support development of machine learning models to predict selected flow characteristics for interbasin transfers of water for areas in Colorado and the Northeast Region (parts of Pennsylvania, New Jersey, and New York) of the United States.
