Abstract
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), in cooperation with the Wyoming Water Development Office, developed streamflow statistics for streamgages in and near Wyoming. Statistics were computed for active (through September 30, 2021) and discontinued USGS streamgages with 10 or more years of daily mean streamflow record. Streamflow at each streamgage was assessed for degree of human alteration owing to dams and diversions before streamflow statistics were computed. Streamflow records from 615 streamgages were used to compute basic, seasonal, and flow-duration statistics; streamflow records from 387 streamgages were used to compute n-day statistics, which are streamflow statistics describing streamflow over a number of days (n), and statistics that can be used for regional regression. The streamflow statistics are provided in a USGS data publication that accompanies this report and through the USGS StreamStats web-based application (https://www.usgs.gov/streamstats).
