Summary

Variability in river discharge, particularly very high flow and low flow conditions, has far-reaching environmental and economic consequences. The retention of water in surface storage, concentrated in lakes, ponds, wetlands, floodplains, and temporary water in flood prone areas, can potentially contribute to flow generation and flood regulation. However, the impact of surface water storage on river discharge can be challenging to isolate and quantify. A suite of hydrologic signatures were generated for 72 gages across the conterminous United States. The hydrologic signatures were selected to characterize all flows as well as isolating high and low flows, and machine learning models were developed to explain watershed variability in [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this study was to explore how surface water dynamics may influence the response of river discharge to high and low flow conditions, as reflected by hydrologic signatures.
