Daily streamflow datasets used to analyze trends in streamflow at sites also analyzed for trends in water quality and ecological condition in the Nation's rivers and streams (input)

Metadata Updated: July 6, 2024

In 1991, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) began a study of more than 50 major river basins across the Nation as part of the National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) project of the National Water-Quality Program. One of the major goals of the NAWQA project is to determine how water-quality conditions change over time. To support that goal, long-term consistent and comparable monitoring has been conducted on streams and rivers throughout the Nation. Outside of the NAWQA project, the USGS and other Federal, State, and local agencies also have collected long-term water-quality data to support their own assessments of changing water-quality conditions. Data from these multiple sources have been combined to support one of the most comprehensive assessments conducted to date of water-quality trends in the United States. In order to interpret these water-quality trends, it is important to also understand how streamflow has changed during the same period. This USGS data release contains all of the input and output files necessary to reproduce the analyses of trends in streamflow described in the U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report. Data preparation for input to the model is also fully described in the above mentioned report.
