Several basin characteristics are easily derived from StreamStats basin delineations, such as basin area and basin centroid (https://streamstats.usgs.gov/ss/). Other basin characteristics require ancillary datasets as input.  The data provided through this data release are those data that have been collected, tested, and ultimately selected as a basis for FDC development.  These include Soil Components (Available Water Capacity, Drainage Index, and Permeability); PRISM 3-Month Average Precipitation; and Thickness and Coarseness of Quaternary Sediments.\nThere are 7 grids included in the Illinois portion of this data release: Soil Drainage index (drainind), PRISM December to February Average Precipitation (prdecfeb00), PRISM September to November Average Precipitation (prsepnov00), PermBXThick equation inputs (qss_permb and qss_thick), STATSGO Permeability (statsperm), and Available Water Capacity (watcapinil).
