Base flow, which can serve as a proxy \nfor annual recharge, streamflow, and runoff were estimated from computer \nprograms\u2014PART (Rutledge, 1993), HYSEP (Sloto and Crouse, 1996), and BFI \n(Wahl and Wahl, 1988)\u2014that are included in the hydrograph analysis component \nprovided with version 1.0 of the U.S. Geological Survey Groundwater Toolbox. \nOnly complete years (January to December) of record at each gage were used \nto determine annual estimates. Estimates of base-flow index, which is the \npercentage of streamflow from base flow, are included in the annual and average \ntables. Precipitation was estimated by calculating the average of cell values in the \nPRISM dataset intercepted by basin boundaries where previously defined in the \nGAGES-II dataset (Falcone, 2011). Estimates of evapotranspiration were then \ncalculated from the difference between precipitation and streamflow.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9G9UR6K", "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.9fc60de3-e030-4cdd-b76a-bac6cae57694.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_9fc60de3-e030-4cdd-b76a-bac6cae57694", "keyword": ["Alabama", "Appalachian Plateaus", "Appalachian Plateaus Region", "Base flow", "Base-flow index", "Georgia", "Hydrograph Separation", "InlandWaters", "Kentuchy", "Mississippi", "New York", "Ohio", "Pennsylvania", "Runoff", "Streamflow partitioning", "Tennessee", "USGS Groundwater Resources Program", "USGS:9fc60de3-e030-4cdd-b76a-bac6cae57694", "Water budgets", "West Virginia", "environment", "geoscientificInformation", "inlandWaters"], "modified": "2020-11-17T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "-88.5772, 32.5329, -75.5421, 42.7369", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Annual Estimates of Water-Budget Components Based on Hydrograph Separation and PRISM Precipitation for Gaged Basins in the Appalachian Plateaus Region, 1900-2011"}
