Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the nine Chesapeake Bay River Input Monitoring (RIM) stations for the period 1985 through 2015. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). Yields (represents the mass of constituent transported from a unit area of a given watershed) are used to compare the export loads from one basin to another. Yield results are obtained by dividing the annual load (pounds) of a given constituent by the respective watershed...

Ecological flow (EFlow) statistics have been designated to characterize the magnitude, frequency, and duration of extreme high- and low-flows, the timing of seasonal flows, and the consistency of the historic regime. This Child Item contains a table of 178 EFlows for the time periods 1940-1969, 1970-1999, and 2000-2018, with absolute and percent change between periods, where applicable. Statistics were computed by Water Year (WY) for all 178 metrics and absolute and percent change were calculated by comparing metrics between combinations of two of the three time periods (1940-1969 and 1970-1999; 1940-1969 and 2000-2018; 1970-1999 and 2000-2018). Streamgages from the original dataset (n = 409) were excluded from...

This Child Item contains (1) a table of trends in eight annual streamflow statistics for the time periods 1940-1969, 1970-1999, and 2000-2018, and (2) a .zip file of plots of the eight statistical trends for the three time periods. The annual streamflow statistics and their trends were computed by Climate Year (CY) for 1-,7- and 30-day minima and by Water Year (WY) for 1-,7- and 30-day maxima, median and mean. Streamgages from the original dataset (n = 409) were excluded from one or more time periods of analysis because of extensive data gaps that would interrupt trend lines; therefore, streamgages were indexed into the earliest possible time period relative to their installation date (for example, a streamgage...

This Child Item contains a shapefile (ArcGIS Pro version 2.5.0) of the original 409 USGS streamgage locations active within the Chesapeake Bay Watershed (CBWS) through September 30, 2018. Streamflow trends and EFlow statistics tables from this data release may be joined to the shapefile by either the "Streamgage_ID" or "Streamgage_Name" attributes to aid in spatial analysis within a GIS.

Nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended-sediment loads, and changes in loads, in rivers across the Chesapeake Bay watershed have been calculated using monitoring data from the Chesapeake Bay Nontidal Network (NTN) stations for the period 1985 through 2014. Nutrient and suspended-sediment loads and changes in loads were determined by applying a weighted regression approach called WRTDS (Weighted Regression on Time, Discharge, and Season). The load results represent the total mass of nitrogen, phosphorus, and suspended sediment that was exported from each of the NTN watersheds. To determine the trend in loads, the annual load results are flow normalized to integrate out the year-to-year variability in river discharge....
