StreamStats in Montana and Wyoming Active

By Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center May 15, 2018

StreamStats: a water-resources web application

Access application

StreamStats is a Web-based geographic information system application that provides users with access to basin and streamflow characteristics for gaged and ungaged streams.

StreamStats was created by the USGS to provide users with access to an assortment of data and analytical tools. StreamStats provides streamflow and basin characteristics for USGS gaging stations and provides tools to delineate drainage basins, compute basin character­istics, and solve regression equations to estimate streamflow characteristics at ungaged sites.

Montana StreamStats

Streamflow characteristics and regional regression equations were developed in Montana and implemented in the StreamStats application. 

Wyoming StreamStats

The USGS is working with the Wyoming Water Development Office (WWDO) to develop a StreamStats application for Wyoming, compute streamflow characteristics at gaging stations, and develop regional regression equations to estimate streamflow characteristics at ungaged sites. Work is planned to begin in April 2018, and the project will continue for 9 years.

Adjusted peak-flow frequency estimates for selected streamflow-gaging stations in or near Montana based on data through water year 2011: Chapter D in Montana StreamStats

The climatic conditions of the specific time period during which peak-flow data were collected at a given streamflow-gaging station (hereinafter referred to as gaging station) can substantially affect how well the peak-flow frequency (hereinafter referred to as frequency) results represent long-term hydrologic conditions. Differences in the timing of the periods of record can result in substantial

Montana StreamStats—A method for retrieving basin and streamflow characteristics in Montana: Chapter A in <i>Montana StreamStats</i>

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides streamflow characteristics and other related information needed by water-resource managers to protect people and property from floods, plan and manage water-resource activities, and protect water quality. Streamflow characteristics provided by the USGS, such as peak-flow and low-flow frequencies for streamflow-gaging stations, are frequently used by engin

Methods for estimating peak-flow frequencies at ungaged sites in Montana based on data through water year 2011: Chapter F in <i>Montana StreamStats</i>

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, completed a study to update methods for estimating peak-flow frequencies at ungaged sites in Montana based on peak-flow data at streamflow-gaging stations through water year 2011. The methods allow estimation of peak-flow frequencies (that is, peak-flow magnitudes, in cubic feet per
