Adriana, G., Masbruch, M.D, and Susong, D.D, 2014, Geodatabase of Groundwater Discharge Estimates to Streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin: U.S. Geological Survey data release, https://doi.org/10.5066/P9L6SIZ6.

Summary

These data were released prior to the October 1, 2016 effective date for the USGS’s policy dictating the review, approval, and release of scientific data as referenced in USGS Survey Manual Chapter 502.8 Fundamental Science Practices: Review and Approval of Scientific Data for Release. The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) as part of the Department of Interior WaterSmart Program compiled published estimates of groundwater discharge to streams in the Upper Colorado River Basin into a dataset and developed a geospatial database. For the purpose of this compilation, groundwater discharge to streams consists of base-flow, and may include contributions from groundwater discharge from various flow paths, lateral seepage, hyporheic flow, and [...]
