Salt River at Etna streamgage was one of the many data points used to develop Wyoming StreamStats
Wyoming StreamStats is a map-based online tool that can delineate watersheds, calculate basin characteristics, and provide streamflow information for streams in Wyoming. StreamStats is a national application that is being customized to meet the needs of Wyoming state agencies, engineers, water users, recreationists, and others.
Since 2018, scientists at the Wyoming-Montana Water Science Center have worked with the Wyoming Water Development Office and the University of Wyoming to create baseline mapping for streamlines and watershed boundaries.
The baseline mapping was used with digital elevation models and climate, land cover, soils, and other datasets to build the StreamStats application.
Users of StreamStats can click on a stream location to delineate watersheds and calculate basin characteristics.
Streamflow statistics (such as flow duration, mean annual flow, monthly flow, 7-day 10-year flow) were calculated for >500 streamgages in and near Wyoming (2022 – 2023). Those “at-site” streamflow statistics will be available by clicking on a streamgage in StreamStats (late 2023). The at-site statistics will be used to create regression equations so that users can click on an “ungaged” stream location to obtain streamflow statistics (2025).
Peak flow statistics (such as the 1% or 1 in 100-year flow), will be calculated for Wyoming streamgages with at least 10 years of annual peak-flow data and with little or no altered flows (2025).
