Myles Downhour

Myles is a Hydrologic Technician with the USGS Colorado Water Science Center (COWSC), Southeast Colorado Office, in Pueblo, CO

Myles began his career in the USGS Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center in Indianapolis, IN in 2014 as a student. In Indiana Myles worked primarily with in-situ water quality and nutrient monitors, using data for sediment and nutrient load modelling in agricultural watersheds to assess BMP’s and bank stabilization projects. After transitioning to the COWSC, Myles has continued his work in sediment, with a focus on suspended sediment sampling and load modelling. In addition to the sediment program, Myles collects and analyzes a wide variety of data for the Pueblo office’s water quality program.

Regression models for estimating sediment, nutrient concentrations and loads at School Branch at Brownsburg, Indiana, June 2015 through February 2019

Sediment and nutrient transport in the School Branch watershed (in central Indiana west of Indianapolis) is considered to be heavily affected by agricultural land use throughout the watershed. In 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, deployed continuous water-quality monitors and began collecting discrete water-quality samples at

Regression models for estimating sediment and nutrient concentrations and loads at the Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana, March 2015 through July 2018

In 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Iroquois River Conservancy District, deployed continuous water-quality monitors and began collecting representative discrete water-quality samples at the Iroquois River near Foresman, Indiana, streamflow-gaging station (U.S. Geological Survey station 05524500). By relating continuously monitored water-quality data and discrete water-qual

Regression models for estimating sediment and nutrient concentrations and loads at the Kankakee River, Shelby, Indiana, December 2015 through May 2018

The Kankakee River in northern Indiana flows through the area once known as the Grand Marsh. Beginning in the 1860s, anthropogenic changes to the river within Indiana resulted in downstream flooding and additional transport of sediment and nutrients. In 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey, in cooperation with the Indiana Department of Environmental Management, upgraded the gaging station Kankakee Riv
