Summary

This data release provides results from a watershed modelling effort to depict the use of natural infrastructure in dryland streams (NIDS), i.e., gabions, as a low-tech and low-cost, nature-based solution for increased water availability in the Buckeye area, west of the White Tank mountains and northwest of Phoenix, AZ, USA. Our goal was to identify impacts of current management and hypothetical installation of gabions, as NIDS to offset expected impacts of planned development (Norman et al., 2022; Tosline & Swick, 2023). This release and associated report (Norman & Petrakis, 2024) describes the methods and results acquired for modeling installation of gabion-style NIDS and the impacts at the apex and outlet of the watershed draining [...]

Purpose

This data release represents an application of the Automated Geospatial Watershed Assessment (AGWA) tool to analyze hydrologic impacts of land cover/land use change (i.e., the development of natural infrastructure in dryland streams - NIDS) in the small watershed, using standardized spatial data sets readily available. The release consists of a series of zipped folders containing spatial layers representing watershed components (i.e., .shp file format; file geodatabase), tables showing discharge and sediment yield in response to the intensity (i.e., heavy, light) of gabion structures (i.e., .csv file format), and graphs illustrating results by channel and plane (i.e., .png file format).
