The streamflow measurements were\nmade to obtain data on ground-water/surface-water interaction.\nFlow was observed visually to be zero, was measured, or was estimated\nat 374 sites.  The measurements were made on the main stem of the\nRepublican River and all flowing tributaries that enter the Republican\nRiver between Swanson and Harlan County Reservoirs in the Nebraska part\nof the Republican River Basin. Tributaries were followed upstream until\nthe first road crossing where zero flow was encountered. Measurements also\nincluded estimates of average wastewater discharge during the period when\nthe flow measurements were made, based upon data obtained from towns\nhaving measureable wastewater discharge.  For selected streams, points of\nzero flow upstream of the first zero flow site also were checked.\n\t\t\nStreamflow gain or loss for each stream reach was calculated by\nsubtracting the streamflow values measured at the upstream end of\nthe reach and values for contributing tributaries from the\ndownstream value.  The data obtained reflected base-flow conditions\nsuitable for estimating streamflow gains and losses for\nstream reaches between sites.  However, due to fluctuations in streamflow\non the main stem of the Republican River above Swanson Reservoir during the\nmeasurement period, flow measurements on the main stem could not be used\nfor calculating reach gains and losses. Flows measured on tributaries to\nthe Republican River above Swanson Reservoir were of suitable quality\nto use for streamflow gain/loss calculations. Flows on Sappa Creek did\nnot reflect base-flow conditions and thus were not suitable for\ninvestigating ground-water/surface-water interaction.\n\t\t\nThis digital data set was created by manually splitting the lines\nfrom a 1:250,000 hydrography data set (Soenksen and others, 1999) at\nevery streamflow-measurement site.  Each set of stream segments between\nmeasurement sites was assigned a unique reach number.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9U2DMVY", "description": "Landing page for access to the data", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "application/http", "title": "Digital Data"}, {"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "description": "The metadata original format", "downloadURL": "https://data.usgs.gov/datacatalog/metadata/USGS.06153087-42b1-4cc3-867a-83e937ae2ff5.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_06153087-42b1-4cc3-867a-83e937ae2ff5", "keyword": ["Nebraska", "Republican River", "Republican River Basin", "USGS:06153087-42b1-4cc3-867a-83e937ae2ff5", "base flow", "environment", "gain/loss", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters", "low-flow investigations", "seepage run", "streamflow"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-102.11396913, 39.93417935, -99.43321047, 40.92298837", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Streamflow gain/loss in the Republican River Basin, Nebraska, October 1998"}
