USGS_StreamFlowDV -- Mean Daily Values of Stream Flow and Suspended Sediment from the U.S. Geological Survey National Water Information System
Geospatial_Data_Presentation_Form: tabular digital data

Description:
Abstract:
This tabular file contains computed mean daily values of streamflow and suspended sediment that were measured at stream sites in the spatial layer 'USGS_stream_sites'. The measurements were collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) from 1935 to 2005 and were retrieved from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) database in September 2005. The streamflow and suspended sediment measurements can be related to the sites in 'USGS_stream_sites' by using the attribute 'STAID' .
Purpose:
To provide streamflow and suspended sediment information to users working in the upper Washita River basin.
Supplemental_Information:
The attribute 'STAID' can be used to relate the data in this tabular file to the sites in 'USGS_stream_sites'.
