Results from investigating changes in streamflow seasonality associated with hydroclimatic variability in the north-central United States among three discrete temporal periods, 1946–2020
January 29, 2025
This data release contains results of a study investigating changes in streamflow seasonality associated with hydroclimatic variability in the north-central United States, including nine States (Illinois, Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, and Wisconsin). Peak-flow records from unregulated U.S. Geological Survey streamgages were used to evaluate changes in streamflow seasonality over 75-, 50-, and 30-year trend periods through water year 2020. The streamgages in each of the nine states used in the analysis and the results of the seasonal characteristics and statistical analyses are provided in tabular form (in csv file format) in file "Results.zip" under "Attached Files" below.

Flood-frequency analysis provides the basis for flood risk estimates used by water-resource managers in land-use planning, and it informs the design of essential infrastructure such as bridges and culverts. Federal guidelines for flood-frequency analysis do not offer guidance on addressing changing climate and land-use conditions when estimating floods. However, failing to consider...
