The continental United States (CONUS) was modeled to produce simulations of historical and potential future streamflow using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) application of the USGS National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure (NHMI; Regan and others, 2018). This child page specifically contains a suite of 52 streamflow metrics. These metrics were computed using daily outputs of runoff from HRUs (PRMS variable hru_outflow) and streamflow from the model stream segments (PRMS variable seg_outflow) for all historical and future simulations (table1_GCMs_used.csv) with both static and dynamic land cover parameters. These streamflow statistics describe the duration, frequency, magnitude, rate of change, and...

The hydrologic response units (HRUs) and stream segments available here are for an application of the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) in the southeastern United States by LaFontaine and others (2019). Geographic Information System (GIS) files for the HRUs and stream segments are provided as shapefiles with attribute hru_id_1 identifying the HRU numbering convention used in the PRMS model and seg_id_gcp identifying the stream segment numbering convention used in the PRMS model. This GIS files represent the watershed area for an approximately 1.16 million square kilometer area of the southeastern United States. A total of 20,251 HRUs and 10,742 stream segments are used in this modeling application. LaFontaine,...

The USGS and Newmont Mining Corp. surveyed 51 cross sections to determine hydraulic characteristics throughout 12 model reaches. The accuracy of the surveyed cross sections is believed to be +/- 0.5 ft. Field surveys included measuring the channel cross section up to the approximate altitude of the highest flood and includes auxiliary channels. Surveyed cross sections generally were at representative locations about every 3 miles along the Humboldt River channel. In areas where long overbank sections occurred, supplemental altitudes were determined from topographic maps in order to extend surveyed parts of cross sections so that each section represented the full width of the floodplain. In this dataset there is...

This data release contains inputs for and outputs from hydrologic simulations for the conterminous United States (CONUS) using the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) version 5.1.0 and the USGS National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure (NHMI, Regan and others, 2018). Historical simulations using the Maurer atmospheric forcings (Maurer and others, 2002) were produced for the period 1950-2010. These data document the PRMS climate input data files for these simulations. Input files for the simulations include the PRMS base parameter file and five dynamic parameter files that update model parameters on an annual time step for impervious area, dominant land cover type, and canopy interception.

The datasets herein are the observed instantaneous values of streamflow for the titled U.S. Geological Survey streamgage with precipitation metadata added. Days where streamflow is directly affected by precipitation and the day afterwards is identified with a "B". Two days after a precipitation event is identified with a "C". If the streamflow was affected by snow or ice, the data is identified with a "D". Any data that is not precipitation influenced is identified with an "A". This metadata was applied on the basis of numerous rain gages in the vicinity of the streamgage and radar images obtained from the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration website https://www.ncdc.noaa.gov/data-access/radar-data/radar-map-tool...
This data release provides data in support of an assessment of changes in slope of the concentration-discharge relation for total organic carbon in eight major rivers at gaging stations in Connecticut from October 1972 to September 2019 (U.S. Geological Survey water years 1973 to 2019). The rivers include the Connecticut at Thompsonville (01184000), Housatonic at Stevenson (01205500), Quinebaug at Jewett City (01127000), Farmington at Tariffville (01189995), Shetucket at Willamantic (01122500), Naugatuck at Beacon Falls (011208500), Quinnipiac at Wallingford (01196500), and Salmon at East Hampton (01193500).

This child page contains the requisite folder structure along with the model input and output data used in calibrating two Hydrologic Engineering Center Hydrologic Modeling System (HEC-HMS) models during the calibration period of the study detailed in the associated Scientific Investigations Report "Comparison of Storm Runoff Models for a Small Watershed in an Urban Metropolitan Area, Albuquerque, New Mexico" (Shephard and Douglas-Mankin, 2020). One model uses a curve-number based loss method approach, and the other model uses an initial and constant infiltration rate loss method. Each model was used to simulate storm runoff in the Hahn Arroyo Watershed, an urbanized watershed with concrete lined channels in the...

The continental United States (CONUS) was modeled to produce simulations of historical and potential future streamflow using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) application of the USGS National Hydrologic Model Infrastructure (NHMI; Regan and others, 2018). This child page specifically contains the spatial model features (hydrologic response units [HRU_subset.zip] and stream segments [Segments_subset.zip]) on which model inputs and outputs are based. The assembly of model-ready files results in HRU and segment IDs that are different than those in the NHMI database. Two "crosswalk files" (nhm_hru_id_crosswalk.csv, nhm_segment_id_crosswalk.csv) are provided so that the model inputs and outputs can be mapped...

Streamflow was collected at various streamgages in western Pennsylvania in support of the scientific investigations report "Estimation of Base Flow on Ungaged, Periodically Measured Streams in Small Watersheds in Western Pennsylvania". Data were selected for the development of eleven regressions on three streamgage pairs to examine differences in the regression diagnostics and prediction interval based upon the data chosen for the regression. This dataset includes 1) data used to develop prediction intervals for the titled estimation site based upon the titled index streamgage, 2) zero streamflow information, and 3) evaluation of the prediction interval with non-runoff influenced data. For prediction interval development...

The statistically-based estimates of streamflow included here are for the headwater watersheds in the study area described in LaFontaine and others (2019), and were developed using the ordinary kriging methodology described in Farmer (2016). There are four files included that describe the maximum, minimum, mean, and median estimated streamflow for each headwater on a daily time step for the period 10/1/1980-9/30/2010. A GIS shapefile of the headwaters is also included here.

This database was developed for the Water Availability Tool for Environmental Resources (WATER) for the Delaware River Basin (DRB), a decision support tool that provides a consistent and objective method of simulating streamflow under historical, forecasted, and managed conditions (Williamson and others, 2015). This database provides historical spatial and climatic data for simulating streamflow for 2001–11, in addition to land-cover forecasts and general circulation model (global climate model; GCM) projections that focus on 2030 and 2060. The database provides for geospatial sampling, at a 10-30 m resolution, of landscape characteristics, including topographic and soil properties, land cover and impervious surface,...

The Rio Grande Basin Study (Basin Study) is a stakeholder-led project funded through the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation that is developing climate adaptation strategies to address the growing gap between water supply and demand in the Upper Rio Grande Basin in Colorado, New Mexico, and Texas. The role of the USGS in the Basin Study is to simulate future streamflow using downscaled climate model projection data as input to the Upper Rio Grande Basin Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) (Chavarria and others, 2020). Simulated streamflow for 27 climate scenarios at 63 sites along the mainstem Rio Grande and its tributaries is used as baseline hydrologic response to climate-change emission scenarios and downscaling...
