Abstract from JAWRA manuscript: We examined the impacts of changes in land cover and soil conditions on the flow regime of the upper Delaware River Basin using the Water Availability Tool for Environmental Resources (WATER). We simulated flows for two periods, circa 1600 and 1940, at three sites using the same temperature and precipitation conditions: the East Branch (EB), West Branch (WB), and mainstem Delaware River at Callicoon, NY. The 1600 period represented pristine forest and soils. The 1940 period included reduced forest cover, increased agriculture, and degraded soils with reduced soil macropore fractions. A model-sensitivity test examined the impact of soil macropore and land cover change separately. We...
Estimated Use of Water by Subbasin (HUC8) and Subwatershed (HUC12) in the Delaware River Basin, 2010
These datasets present offstream water use estimates from 2010 which are aggregated to the 8-digit (subbasin) and 12-digit (subwatershed) hydrologic unit level for the Delaware River Basin. The data support USGS Scientific Investigations Report 2015-5142.
Streamflow metrics (mean, 10th percentile, 90th percentile, coefficient of variation, L-skew, L-kurtosis, amplitude, and seasonal phase shift as day of maximum streamflow) for simulations using 101 equally likely land cover forecasts for Delaware River Basin
Text files associated with figures in Sensitivity of streamflow simulation in the Delaware River Basin to forecasted land-cover change for 2030 and 2060 - Williamson, T.N. and P. Claggett. 2019. Sensitivity of streamflow simulation in the Delaware River Basin to forecasted land-cover change for 2030 and 2060. Hydrological Processes 33: 115-129. doi:10.1002/hyp.13315.
The Water Availability Tool for Environmental Resources (WATER) is a decision support system (DSS) for the nontidal part of the Delaware River Basin (DRB) that provides a consistent and objective method of simulating streamflow under historical, forecasted, and managed conditions. WATER integrates geospatial sampling of landscape characteristics, including topographic and soil properties, with a regionally calibrated hillslope-hydrology model, an impervious-surface model, and hydroclimatic models that have been parameterized using three hydrologic response units—forested, agricultural, and developed land cover. It is this integration that enables the regional hydrologic-modeling approach used in WATER without requiring...
This database was developed for the Water Availability Tool for Environmental Resources (WATER) for the Delaware River Basin (DRB), a decision support tool that provides a consistent and objective method of simulating streamflow under historical, forecasted, and managed conditions (Williamson and others, 2015). This database provides historical spatial and climatic data for simulating streamflow for 2001–11, in addition to land-cover forecasts and general circulation model (global climate model; GCM) projections that focus on 2030 and 2060. The database provides for geospatial sampling, at a 10-30 m resolution, of landscape characteristics, including topographic and soil properties, land cover and impervious surface,...
Streamflow metrics (mean, 10th percentile, 90th percentile, coefficient of variation, L-skew, L-kurtosis, amplitude, and seasonal phase shift as day of maximum streamflow) for observed streamflow and simulated streamflow using 2011 NLCD, 2030-median aggregate, and 2060-median aggregate land cover forecasts for Delaware River Basin. Also included is general land cover information for three hydrologic response units (forested, agricultural, and developed) as well as impervious surface.
