This data was created to support the Washington D.C. StreamStats project funded by the Washington D.C. Department of Energy and Environment (DOEE). This dataset contains basin characteristics for 154 urban streamflow gaging stations (streamgages) operated by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) in Delaware, District of Columbia, Maryland, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and Virginia. Characteristics include mean slope (percent rise) using 3-meter and 10-foot resolution digital elevation models (DEM) and impervious cover derived from 1-meter resolution land cover datasets. Included in the dataset are a CSV file with basin characteristics for each streamgage station and a shapefile with watershed boundaries for each station.
