FLOwPER Database: StreamFLOw PERmanence field observations, Jan 2022 - Dec 2022
February 20, 2025
IMPORTANT NOTE: This dataset includes spatial locations where streamflow permanence observations (continuous flow, discontinuous flow, and dry) were recorded using the FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence) field survey available in the Survey 123 mobile data collection application. Additional information to describe the field conditions are included as part of the survey. Field observations in the FLOwPER Database have not been processed for quality control including spatial data accuracy or association with a stream network such as the National Hydrography Dataset. Streamflow permanence observations are collected from several governmental and non-governmental organizations on a continuing basis. This data release is formatted as a shapefile that includes streamflow permanence observations with associated information. Photographs associated with FLOwPER data observations are included. The spatial extent of this dataset is the western United States and includes the following states: Oregon, Washington, Idaho, Nevada, Arizona, Utah, Alabama, and Alaska.

FLOwPER user guide—For collection of FLOw PERmanence field observations
The accurate mapping of streams and their streamflow conditions in terms of presence or absence of surface water is important to both understanding physical, chemical, and biological processes in streams and to managing land, water, and ecological resources. This document describes a field form, FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence), available within a mobile application (app), for standardized data...
