Summary

The Watershed Data Management (WDM) database file WBDR17.WDM is updated with the quality-assured and quality-controlled meteorological and hydrologic data for the period October 1, 2017, through September 30, 2018, following the guidelines documented in Bera (2017) and is renamed as WBDR18.WDM. Meteorological data other than precipitation (wind speed, solar radiation, air temperature, dew point temperature, and potential evapotranspiration) are copied from ARGN18.WDM stored in this WDM file. Errors have been found in each of ARGNXX.WDM prior to Water Year (WY) 2023. XX represents last two digits of a WY. A WY is the 12-month period, October 1 through September 30, in which it ends. WBDR18.WDM contains erroneous meteorological data [...]

Purpose

The datasets in this database may be used as input to the Hydrological Simulation Program-FORTRAN (HSPF) model or other similar rainfall-runoff model for simulating streamflow in DuPage County and nearby areas in northeastern Illinois. This database will be available to the public and other cooperators for doing similar simulations or meteorological analyses.
