Summary

This metadata record describes a series of tabular datasets containing metrics used to characterize drought for select United States Geological Survey (USGS) streamgages in and surrounding the Colorado River Basin for the climate years (April 1 – March 31) 1981 to 2020. These streamgages are a subset of those used in Geospatial Attributes of Gages for Evaluating Streamflow, version 2 (GAGES-II, Falcone, 2011) with some additional USGS streamgages not in the GAGES-II dataset added. The metrics include streamflow percentiles, identified drought events, annual low streamflow, and statistics for each drought event.

Purpose

These data were developed as part of the Regional Drought Early Warning System Project (RDEWS) and National Drought Characterization and Prediction Project which are part of the USGS Water Mission Area (WMA) National Drought Prediction Project. This effort was undertaken to support statistical analysis, map display, and model parameterization and to help advance understanding and prediction of hydrological drought in and around the Colorado River Basin.
