Idaho

Six reports document the regression equations available in StreamStats for Idaho, the errors associated with the estimates, and the methods used to develop the equations and to measure the basin characteristics used in the equations. The last report by Rea and Skinner (2009) includes full metadata descriptions and links to download the geospatial data sets used by StreamStats for Idaho. Users should familiarize themselves with these reports before using StreamStats to obtain estimates of streamflow statistics for ungaged sites.

Interactive Map

General information on the Interactive Map application, as well as specific sources and computation methods for basin characteristics are available here.

StreamStats for Idaho was developed in cooperation with the U.S. Forest Service, the Idaho Transportation Department, the Idaho Department of Environmental Quality, and the Bureau of Reclamation.
