The dataset contain estimates of natural monthly streamflow for 135,118 stream segments in California, USA, from 1950 to 2012. Segments are identified per the medium resolution National Hydrography Dataset (NHD), Version 1. The dataset also contains observed monthly streamflows and estimates of natural monthly streamflows for 894 USGS stream gages in California, USA.

Estimating natural monthly streamflows in California and the likelihood of anthropogenic modification
Because natural patterns of streamflow are a fundamental property of the health of streams, there is a critical need to quantify the degree to which human activities have modified natural streamflows. A requirement for assessing streamflow modification in a given stream is a reliable estimate of flows expected in the absence of human influences. Although there are many techniques to predict stream
