StreamStats regression equation updates for Minnesota

By StreamStats September 22, 2016

A StreamStats migration in September of 2016 updated regression equations for Minnesota StreamStats.

Equations for estimating annual and seasonal 7-, 30-, and 112-day low flows that recur on average once in 10 years, and for estimating daily streamflows that exceeded between 99.99 and 0.01 percent of the time were added to Minnesota StreamStats version 3 on September 22, 2016. These new equations are not yet available in version 4 due to software limitations. The new equations are from the following report:

**Note that streamflow statistics for streamgages used to develop the regression equations from this report, and from the peak-flow report by Lorenz and others (2009) are not yet available from StreamStats. Users should refer to the tables from those reports to obtain the latest available statistics for the streamgages.**

Methods for estimating flow-duration curve and low-flow frequency statistics for ungaged locations on small streams in Minnesota Methods for estimating flow-duration curve and low-flow frequency statistics for ungaged locations on small streams in Minnesota

Knowledge of the magnitude and frequency of low flows in streams, which are flows in a stream during prolonged dry weather, is fundamental for water-supply planning and design; waste-load allocation; reservoir storage design; and maintenance of water quality and quantity for irrigation, recreation, and wildlife conservation. This report presents the results of a statewide study for which...

Techniques for Estimating the Magnitude and Frequency of Peak Flows on Small Streams in Minnesota Based on Data through Water Year 2005 Techniques for Estimating the Magnitude and Frequency of Peak Flows on Small Streams in Minnesota Based on Data through Water Year 2005

Knowledge of the peak flow of floods of a given recurrence interval is essential for regulation and planning of water resources and for design of bridges, culverts, and dams along Minnesota's rivers and streams. Statistical techniques are needed to estimate peak flow at ungaged sites because long-term streamflow records are available at relatively few places. Because of the need to have...
