Colorado
The Colorado StreamStats page currently implements for the Mountain Region of Colorado selected high flow and low flow statistics, namely: annual mean flow, mean flows for each month, 2-year through 500 year peak flows, 2-year-7-day low flow, 10-year-7-day low flow, and 50-year-7-day low flow. The extent of the Mountain Region is displayed as a blue boundary on the Colorado StreamStats web page.
Two reports document the regression equations available in StreamStats for Colorado, the errors associated with the estimates, and the methods used to develop the equations and to measure the basin characteristics used in the equations. Users should familiarize themselves with these reports before using StreamStats to obtain estimates of streamflow statistics for ungaged sites.
