FLOwPER Database: StreamFLOw PERmanence Field Observations
Summary
The accurate mapping of stream locations and their flow conditions (presence or absence of surface water) is important to both understanding physical, chemical, and biological processes in streams and managing land, water, and ecological resources. The FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence) Database is a publicly available geodataset that includes spatial locations where streamflow permanence observations (continuous flow, discontinuous flow, and dry) were recorded using the FLOwPER field survey form available in the Survey 123 and S1 mobile application. Additional information to describe the field conditions are included as part of the survey. Field observations in the FLOwPER Database have not been processed for quality control including spatial [...]
Summary
The accurate mapping of stream locations and their flow conditions (presence or absence of surface water) is important to both understanding physical, chemical, and biological processes in streams and managing land, water, and ecological resources. The FLOwPER (FLOw PERmanence) Database is a publicly available geodataset that includes spatial locations where streamflow permanence observations (continuous flow, discontinuous flow, and dry) were recorded using the FLOwPER field survey form available in the Survey 123 and S1 mobile application. Additional information to describe the field conditions are included as part of the survey. Field observations in the FLOwPER Database have not been processed for quality control including spatial data accuracy or association with a stream network such as the National Hydrography Dataset.
Streamflow permanence observations are collected from several governmental and non-governmental organizations on a continuing basis. These data can be used for multiple purposes, such as archiving where flowing water is present in forest planning units, informing modeling efforts of streamflow permanence, and providing information needed to update stream classifications across any spatial extent.
