Summary

The continental United States (CONUS) was modeled to produce simulations of historical and potential future streamflow using the Precipitation-Runoff Modeling System (PRMS) application of the USGS National Hydrologic Model infrastructure (NHM; Regan and others, 2018). This child page specifically contains the spatial model features (hydrologic response units [HRU_subset.zip] and stream segments [Segments_subset.zip]) on which model inputs and outputs are based. The assembly of model-ready files results in HRU and segment IDs that are different than those in the NHM database. Two "crosswalk files" (nhm_hru_id_crosswalk.csv, nhm_segment_id_crosswalk.csv) are provided so that the model inputs and outputs can be mapped to the NHM database [...]

Purpose

These data document the input and output data files for hydrologic simulations that used the Precipitation Runoff Modeling System application of the USGS National Hydrologic Model infrastructure. These simulations were developed for the U.S Geological Survey Southeast Climate Adaptation Science Center to provide outputs of streamflow and related statistics for historical and potential future conditions for use in assessing potential changes in hydrologic response.
