Statistical summaries of streamflow data for selected gaging stations in Idaho and adjacent states through September 1990 - Volume 1: Gaging stations with 10 or more years of record

This volume presents statistical summaries of streamflow data for 257 gaging stations with 10 or more years of continuous record through September 1990. The gaging stations are located in Idaho and adjacent States. Volume 2 presents statistical summaries of streamflow data for 76 gaging stations with 5 to 9 years of continuous record, or with records of discharge measurements from springs, through September 1990. The gaging stations are located in Idaho and western Wyoming. Streamflow statistics generated for gaging stations with 10 or more years of record were (1) magnitudes of monthly and annual flows; (2) magnitudes and frequencies of daily low, high, instantaneous peak (flood frequency), and annual mean flows; (3) duration of daily mean flows; and (4) maximum, median, and minimum daily mean flows. Streamflow statistics generated for gaging stations with 5 to 9 years of record or that measure discharge from springs (volume 2) were (1) magnitudes of monthly and annual flows; (2) duration of daily mean flows; and (3) maximum, median, and minimum daily mean flows.

An evaluation of Idaho stream-gaging networks

Network Analysis for Regional Information (NARI) and the Cost-Effectiveness Procedure were tested by applying them to stream-gaging networks in Idaho. NARI was used to determine network design strategies that would maximize the value of additional data. Value of data was measured as the decrease in the probable true standards error of regional regression equations. NARI indicated that no significant decrease in regression error can be achieved by the collection of additional data and that better models should be sought. No major modifications to NARI are necessary to make it widely applicable. The Cost-Effectiveness Procedure was used to determine optimal network operation strategies. It showed network uncertainty can be reduced when six- or one-visit per year minimum constraints are in force. Sensitivity to various cost factors was examined. Attempts to model networks that included sites for collection of groundwater and water-quality data were unsuccessful. (USGS)

Using channel geometry to estimate flood flow at ungaged sites in Idaho

Measurements at bankfull stage were made at 136 sites to determine whether predictions of flood discharges using channel-geometry characteristics are as good as or better than predictions using basin characteristics. These meas urements are used to determine the variables of bankfull width, area, depth, and velocity. These variables are combined with basin characteristics for the sites, and multiple-regression techniques are used to select the best combination of variables to estimate the selected floods. Generally, discharge estimates obtained from equations using channel characteristics have smaller standard errors than those using basin characteristics, and equations using both basin and channel characteristics have even lower standard errors.
