USGS_streamflow -- Streamflow Measurements from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System
- Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: tabular digital data
- Online_Linkage: <http://ok.waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis>
- Description:
-
- Abstract:
-
This tabular file contains streamflow measurements that were collected at stream sites in the spatial layer 'USGS_stream_sites'. The measurements were collected at stream sites in the upper Washita River basin in southwestern Oklahoma by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from 1956 to 2005 and were retrieved from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database in September 2005. The streamflow measurements can be related to the sites in 'USGS_stream_sites' by using the attribute 'STAID'.
- Purpose:
-
To provide streamflow information to users working in the upper Washita River basin.
- Supplemental_Information:
-
The streamflow measurements in this file can be related to the stream sites in the spatial layer 'USGS_stream_sites' by using the attribute 'STAID'.
