Streamflow characteristics and trends at 97 continuous-record and 719 partial-record streamflow gaging stations in New Jersey surface water during water years 1903-2017

This U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) data release contains a geodatabase, shapefiles, and datasets that describe streamflow characteristics and trends in New Jersey surface water during water years 1903-2017. High-flow, low-flow, and durations statistics and trend results at 97 continuous-record gages are presented. Low-flow statistics at 719 partial-record gages with sufficient data for regression are also presented, as well as results of trend tests of the regression residuals. Comparisons of the 2017 flow statistics to the 2001 flow statistics reported by Watson and others (2005) are included.
