Base flow, which can serve as a proxy for annual recharge, streamflow, and runoff \nwere estimated from computer programs\u2014PART (Rutledge, 1993), HYSEP (Sloto and Crouse, 1996), and BFI \n(Wahl and Wahl, 1988)\u2014that are included in the hydrograph analysis component provided with version 1.0 of the \nU.S. Geological Survey Groundwater Toolbox. Only complete years (January to December) of record at each \ngage were used to determine annual estimates. Estimates of base-flow index, which is the percentage of \nstreamflow from base flow, are included in the annual and average tables. Precipitation was estimated by \ncalculating the average of cell values in the PRISM dataset intercepted by basin boundaries where previously \ndefined in the GAGES-II dataset (Falcone, 2011). Estimates of evapotranspiration were then calculated from \nthe difference between precipitation and streamflow.", "distribution": [{"@type": "dcat:Distribution", "accessURL": "https://doi.org/10.5066/P9B5K5C2", "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.03c0d6b4-596a-45b6-971f-c7148ad81dd1.xml", "format": "XML", "mediaType": "text/xml", "title": "Original Metadata"}], "identifier": "http://datainventory.doi.gov/id/dataset/USGS_03c0d6b4-596a-45b6-971f-c7148ad81dd1", "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:03c0d6b4-596a-45b6-971f-c7148ad81dd1", "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": "Average Estimates of Water-Budget Components Based on Hydrograph Separation and PRISM Precipitation for Gaged Basins in the Appalachian Plateaus Region, 1900-2011"}
