StreamStats is a Web application that provides access to an assortment of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) analytical tools that are useful for water-resources planning and management, and for engineering and design purposes.
The map-based user interface can be used to delineate drainage areas for user-selected sites on streams, and then get basin characteristics and estimates of flow statistics for the selected sites anywhere this functionality is available. StreamStats users also can select the locations of U.S. Geological Survey data-collection stations, shown as triangles on the StreamStats map, and get flow statistics and other information for the stations. The types of flow statistics that are available vary from state to state. A variety of additional tools are available for discovering information about streams and the activities along them.
Montana StreamStats was developed in cooperation with the Montana Department of Environmental Quality, Montana Department of Natural Resources and Conservation, and Montana Department of Transportation.
Wyoming StreamStats was developed in cooperation with the Wyoming Water Development Office (WWDO).

The StreamStats Batch Processing Tool allows users to process a single point-of-interest. For users who wish to process multiple points at once. The Batch Processing Tool will delineate a basin, compute basin characteristics, and solve regression equations for each point submitted by the user.

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 enginAuthorsPeter McCarthy, DeAnn M.
