Changes in the Streamflow Data Collection Program of USGS
This article discusses changes the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has made in its streamflow data collection program. The changes include: modifying the basic data collection program to provide more data at more locations at more reasonable costs; making basic data available in more usable form by analyzing, interpreting, and rearranging it so as to provide areal information rather than point information; streamlining reporting procedures to make the information available when and where it is needed; and, carrying on research to develop better equipment, more and better techniques for use of basic data, and a better understanding of hydrologic principles. The article provides examples of the new configuration of data including: flow duration curves; low‐flow frequencies; flood frequencies; flood maps; new instrumentation; and, movement of nuclear wastes.
