Summary

This dataset represents 9,097 basin boundaries (rdews_gages.shp) of select U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) active and historical stream gages derived from the published datasets of stream gage basins (Wieczorek, 2006), GAGESII (Falcone, 2011), and delineated from digital elevation models found in the NHDPlus version 1 data suite (NHDPlus, 2006). These basins were created to assist in spatial processing of model inputs for the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Data-Driven Drought Prediction Project of the Drought Science Program within the Water Resources Mission Area's Water Resource Availability Program.

Purpose

These data sets were created by the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) Data-Driven Drought Prediction Project of the Drought Science Program within the Water Resources Mission Area's Water Resource Availability Program. This project focuses on the development of a regional model prototype for streamflow drought prediction, applying data-driven methods in conjunction with members of the National Drought Prediction project. These data were processed to be used as spatial units to process data sets of natural, climatic, and anthropogenic landscape features to support statistical analysis, map display, and model parameterization.
