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 7-day minimum flow on gaged streams (115 gages) and environmental variables. We then projected 7-day minimum flow to ungaged reaches in the Upper Colorado River Basin using environmental variables for each stream cell in the basin. This data layer shows modeled values for 7-day minimum flow of each stream cell.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "http://dx.doi.org/10.5066/F7H9938M", "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.56983498e4b0fbd3f7fa3de2.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_56983498e4b0fbd3f7fa3de2", "keyword": ["Random forests", "Streamflow", "Streamflow modeling", "USGS:56983498e4b0fbd3f7fa3de2", "Ungaged streams", "Upper Colorado River Basin"], "modified": "2020-08-20T00:00:00Z", "publisher": {"@type": "org:Organization", "name": "U.S. Geological Survey"}, "spatial": "43.799831373, 35.110223419, -113.663369597, -105.093683565", "theme": ["geospatial"], "title": "Predicted 7-day minimum flow of small streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin based on historic flow data"}
