StreamStats for Washington was developed in cooperation with the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission, the Point No Point Treaty Council, the Washington State Department of Transportation, and the Washington State Department of Ecology.
Two reports document the regression equations available in StreamStats for Washington, the errors associated with the estimates, and the methods used to develop the equations and to measure the basin characteristics used in the equations. Users should familiarize themselves with these reports before using StreamStats to obtain estimates of streamflow statistics for ungaged sites.

Magnitude, frequency, and trends of floods at gaged and ungaged sites in Washington, based on data through water year 2014
An investigation into the magnitude and frequency of floods in Washington State computed the annual exceedance probability (AEP) statistics for 648 U.S. Geological Survey unregulated streamgages in and near the borders of Washington using the recorded annual peak flows through water year 2014. This is an updated report from a previous report published in 1998 that used annual peak flows through thAnalysis of low flows and selected methods for estimating low-flow characteristics at partial-record and ungaged stream sites in western Washington
A regional low-flow survey of small, perennial streams in western Washington was initiated by the Northwest Indian Fisheries Commission (NWIFC), NWIFC-member tribes, and Point-No-Point Treaty Council in cooperation with the U.S. Geological Survey in 2007 and repeated by the tribes during the low-flow seasons of 2008–09.
