This data release comprises the tabular data used to develop regression equations for estimating selected low-flow statistics for ungaged streams in Ohio that are not substantially affected by regulation, diversions, or other anthropogenic influences, and the geographic information systems (GIS) layer to implement them in the U.S. Geological Survey StreamStats application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov). A statewide recharge-based estimate of streamflow variability index (SVI) was used as an explanatory variable in developing many of the equations to estimate selected low-flow statistics at ungaged sites in Ohio and is included as part of this data release. Regressions, using SVI as the explanatory variable, were used to develop equations for predicting annual and seasonal minimum 1-, 7-, 30-, and 90-day mean flows with 10-year recurrence intervals, the harmonic mean flow, and the 80 percent duration flow. The resulting equations are presented in VonIns and Koltun (2024). To apply the equations to ungaged sites in Ohio, a raster (grid) of estimated streamflow variability index (SVI) for Ohio is included. The raster was developed using Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) Spatial Analyst Software’s Empirical Bayesian kriging (EBK) geoprocessing function with at-gage computed SVIs used as the dependent variable and a recharge raster (grid) of estimated mean annual natural ground-water recharge (Wolock, 2003) as the explanatory variable. Other explanatory variables used to develop the equations and included in tabular form as part of this data release include decimal longitude and drainage area. A statewide coverage of decimal longitude and drainage area were not included as part of this data release because they are already available for ungaged streams within StreamStats.

Streamflow data and statistics are vitally important for proper protection and management of both the water quality and water quantity of Alabama streams. Such data and statistics are available at U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations, also referred to as streamgages or stations, but are often needed at ungaged stream locations. To address this need, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with numerous Alabama state agencies and organizations, developed regional regression equations for estimating selected low-flow frequency statistics and mean annual flow for ungaged locations in Alabama that are not substantially affected by tides, regulation, diversions, or other anthropogenic influences. This data release comprises the geographic information systems (GIS) layers and tabular data used to create the new low-flow and mean annual flow regression equations and implement them for the U.S. Geological Survey StreamStats application (https://streamstats.usgs.gov).

Estimates of various low-flow statistics were computed at 32 ungaged stream locations throughout New Jersey during the 2020 water year using methods in the published reports, 1) Streamflow characteristics and trends in New Jersey, water years 1897-2003 (Watson and others, 2005) and 2) Implementation of MOVE.1, censored MOVE.1, and piecewise MOVE.1 low-flow regressions with applications at partial-record streamgaging stations in New Jersey (Colarullo and others, 2018). The estimates are computed as needed for use in water resources permitting, assessment, and management by the New Jersey Department of Environmental Protection. The data release includes the stream name, location, method of estimation, drainage area, and intended use of the low-flow statistics computed during the 2020 water year. The data are provided as both a plain text file and ArcGIS shapefile format.
