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...

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...

Our objective was to model mean annual number of zero-flow days (days per year) for small streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin under historic hydrologic conditions on small, ungaged streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Modeling streamflows is an important tool for understanding landscape-scale drivers of flow and estimating flows where there are no gaged records. We focused our study in the Upper Colorado River Basin, a region that is not only critical for water resources but also projected to experience large future climate shifts toward a drier climate. We used a random forest modeling approach to model the relation between zero-flow days per year on gaged streams (115 gages) and environmental variables....

Our objective was to model the risk of becoming intermittent under drier climate conditions on small, ungaged streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin. Modeling streamflows is an important tool for understanding landscape-scale drivers of flow and estimating flows where there are no gaged records. We focused our study in the Upper Colorado River Basin, a region that is not only critical for water resources but also projected to experience large future climate shifts toward a drier climate. We used a conditional inference modeling approach to model the relation between intermittency status on gaged streams (115 gages) and selected mean and minimum flow metrics. We then projected intermittency status and if a stream...
