Rodgers, K.D., Breaker, B.K., Hart, R.M., and Knight, R.R., 2018, Geospatial data supporting assessments of streamflow alteration to support bay and estuary restoration in the Gulf States (ver. 1.1, February 2018): U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/F7QF8R33.

The purpose of this data release is to present data (streamflow characteristics, basin characteristics) for 1320 USGS streamgages located in basins draining to the Gulf of Mexico. The data release is part of a USGS project evaluating streamflow alteration in the Gulf States and supports the: (1) development of statistical models of streamflow characteristics for reference and non-reference hydrologic conditions for quantifying hydrologic departure; (2) evaluation of spatial and temporal trends in streamflow characteristics and potential correlation with estuary health; and (3) development of a network optimization analysis to identify under-represented basins in the study area for potential streamgage operation.
