Iowa StreamStats update

By StreamStats May 18, 2018

The Iowa Water Science Center recently investigated and updated several grids to improve the basin characteristic computations in StreamStats.

The updated grids result in more consistency between StreamStats computed basin characteristics and basin characteristics used to derive regression equations to estimate flow statistics in Iowa. This results in StreamStats estimates more closely matching published estimates in previous reports using the following basin characteristics:  

STREAM_VARG: Streamflow variability index as defined in WRIR 02-4068, computed from regional grid

TAU_ANN_G: Average annual base-flow recession constant as defined in SIR 2008-5065

SSURGOKSAT: Saturated hydraulic conductivity in micrometers per second from NRCS SSURGO database

Low-flow characteristics and regionalization of low-flow characteristics for selected streams in Arkansas

Water use in Arkansas has increased dramatically in recent years. Since 1990, the use of water for all purposes except power generation has increased 53 percent (4,004 cubic feet per second in 1990 to 6,113 cubic feet per second in 2005). The biggest users are agriculture (90 percent), municipal water supply (4 percent) and industrial supply (2 percent). As the population of the State continues to

Techniques for estimating selected streamflow characteristics of rural, unregulated streams in Ohio

This report provides equations for estimating mean annual streamflow, mean monthly streamflows, harmonic mean streamflow, and streamflow quartiles (the 25th-, 50th-, and 75th-percentile streamflows) as a function of selected basin characteristics for rural, unregulated streams in Ohio. The equations were developed from streamflow statistics and basin-characteristics data for as many as 219 active
