Metadata for Indiana Stream Flow Data
15 May 2012 | Downloads | Contributor(s): Jake R Carlson
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) daily streamflow dataset is the source of this dataset. Streamflow data are subjected to human interference, and therefore data contain both natural and regulated flows. This practice does not cause serious problems in flood frequency analysis (flows are...
