This data release has a workflow, data, and results of an analysis of the coverage, resolution, and representation of variables related to public interests in streamflow information by the USGS streamflow gaging network that was active in water year 2020. The workflow for the analysis is implemented as scripts and functions in the statistical programming language R. The spatial framework for the analysis is based on the enhanced National Hydrography Dataset (NHD) (medium resolution, 1:100,000 scale), 12-digit Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC12) watersheds from the Watershed Boundary Dataset, and sites where USGS operated a streamflow gage with a daily streamflow record for at least 182 days in Water Year 2020. Values of variables representing [...]

Analysis of USGS Surface Water Monitoring Networks
The issue: National interests in water information are important but challenging to incorporate into planning and operation of a monitoring network driven by local information needs. These interests include an understanding of the spatial variability in water availability across the United States, anthro-physical factors including climate and land use that affect water availability, and federal... - Data
