Projected change in streamflow for 28 routing locations in the Southern Rockies LCC. The data were downloaded from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation’s Streamflow Projections for the Western United States, a data portal developed as part of the West-Wide Climate Risk Analysis project. The portal provides projected stream flow time series projections for 195 locations in the western U.S. Projections are based on 112 hydroclimate projections from the Bias Corrected and Downscaled WCRP CMIP3 Hydrologic Projections.

This layer package shows sites where hydrology data are collected for the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) within the Southern Rockies LCC. The sites include surface water sites, groundwater sites, springs sites and atmospheric sites. The locations were downloaded using the USGS Web Services Snapshot tool, an ArcGIS add-in tool that allows users to query the NWIS database and download subsets of hydrological data into geodatabases. Each of these gage locations has associated data in NWIS, accessible through the NWIS website or with the Snapshot tool. The layer's attribute table contains the NWIS inventory URL for each gage location. There is also an online map of NWIS gages. Citation for Snapshot:...

Downloadable GIS data showing 303(d) listed impaired waters within the boundary of the SRLCC (created by merging state data and clipping the merged shapefile to the footprint of the SRLCC). Data can also be accessed through web services (select access, then geospatial links). Link to EPA Metadata From Metadata Abstract: "The 303(d) Listed Impaired Waters program system provides impaired water data and impaired water features reflecting river segments, lakes, and estuaries designated under Section 303(d) of the Clean Water Act. Each State will establish Total Maximum Daily Loads (TMDLs) for these waters. Note the CWA Section 303(d) list of impaired waters does not represent waters that are impaired but have an...

Shapefiles showing the major streams and water bodies of the SRLCC. For more detailed hydrology GIS data, see the ScienceBase item National Hydrography Dataset to access NHD web services and a link to the NHD website. These shapefiles were downloaded from the National Atlas and clipped to the boundary of the SRLCC. See attached text documents for metadata information.
The footprint of the SRLCC, showing boundaries of 12 digit Hydrologic Unit Codes (HUCs). Watersheds in the United States are organized by the USGS into divisions and subdivisions called hydrologic units and are assigned hydrologic unit codes. The first level divides the U.S. into 21 regions (the first 2 digits of a 12 digit code), the 2nd level is into 221 subregions (the first 4 digits) and so on, into basins (6 digits), subbasins (8 digits), watersheds (10 digits) and subwatersheds (12 digits). The three shapefiles here display the 2 unit, 8 unit and 12 unit HUCs. The shapefiles were downloaded from the Natural Resource Conservation Service's Data Gateway (http://datagateway.nrcs.usda.gov) and clipped to the...
Link to publication: http://www.usbr.gov/lc/region/programs/crbstudy.html: “The Bureau of Reclamation's Upper Colorado and Lower Colorado Regions, in collaboration with representatives of the seven Colorado River Basin States ( non-federal Cost Share Partners), submitted a proposal in June 2009 to fund the "Colorado River Basin Water Supply and Demand Study" under Reclamation's Basin Study Program. In September 2009, the Study was selected for funding. The Study, which began in January 2010, was completed in December 2012. It defines current and future imbalances in water supply and demand in the Colorado River Basin and the adjacent areas of the Basin States that receive Colorado River water for approximately...

The USGS National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) service from The National Map is a comprehensive set of digital spatial data that encodes information about naturally occurring and constructed bodies of surface water (lakes, ponds, and reservoirs), paths through which water flows (canals, ditches, streams, and rivers), and related entities such as point features (springs, wells, stream gages, and dams). The information encoded about these features includes classification and other characteristics, delineation, geographic name, position and related measures, a "reach code" through which other information can be related to the NHD, and the direction of water flow. The network of reach codes delineating water and transported...

This map presents the locations of stream gages and weather stations located in the United States, as well as the locations of Federal Lands. This map was developed as part of the United States Geological Survey’s (USGS) Natural Hazards Support System (NHSS) which is available at http://nhss.cr.usgs.gov. But although this application was developed by the USGS, it contains data and information from a variety of public data sources, including non-USGS data. Therefore detailed information about each of these data providers, including specific data source, data currency and disclaimers, is provided at http://nhss.cr.usgs.gov/data.shtml.

The Colorado Plateau Rapid Ecoregional Assessment (REA) website contains links to the final report. Data from the report are shared through the Colorado Plateau REA Data Portal. Data portal maps are downloadable and can be viewed through map services and ArcGIS.com. Maps that relate to hydrology of the Colorado Plateau ecoregion: MQ B1: Where are lotic and lentic surface waterbodies and livestock and wildlife watering tanks and artificial water bodies? MQ B2: Where are perennial streams and stream reaches? MQ B3: What are seasonal discharge maxima and minima for the Colorado River and major tributaries at gaging stations? MQ B4: Where are the alluvial aquifers and their recharge areas (if known)? MQ B6: Where...
General and Current Hydrology 1. The U.S. Geological Survey’s National Water Information System (NWIS) is a network of websites that contains a wealth of hydrologic data and links to tools and resources. It has a very helpful data discovery site. 2. NWIS Web Services Snapshot is an ArcGIS add-in tool developed by the U.S. Geological Survey. It allows users to query the NWIS database and download subsets of the data into geodatabases. 3. The Western Water Assessment’s Intermountain West Climate Dashboard displays climate data graphics that are updated on a daily basis. These graphics include data for drought monitoring, current and forecasted streamflow and reservoir storage. 4. The U.S. Bureau...

Earth Syst. Sci., 15, 2145-2164, doi:10.5194/hess-15-2145-2011, 2011. Abstract: "The current drought over the Colorado River Basin has raised concerns that the US Department of the Interior, Bureau of Reclamation (Reclamation) may impose water shortages over the lower portion of the basin for the first time in history. The guidelines that determine levels of shortage are affected by relatively short-term (3 to 7 month) forecasts determined by the Colorado Basin River Fore- cast Center (CBRFC) using the National Weather...

This map service is an information surface which displays the hydrologic soil group class of each soil map unit based upon the dominant component in the soil map unit. Hydrologic soil groups are based on estimates of runoff potential. Soils are assigned to one of four groups according to the rate of water infiltration when the soils are not protected by vegetation, are thoroughly wet, and receive precipitation from long-duration storms. The soils in the United States are assigned to four groups (A, B, C, and D) and three dual classes (A/D, B/D, and C/D). The groups are defined as follows: Group A. Soils having a high infiltration rate (low runoff potential) when thoroughly wet. These consist mainly of deep, well...
