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. This 5-kilometer resolution raster (grid) dataset for the conterminous United States represents the average percentage of infiltration-excess overland flow in total streamflow estimated by the watershed model TOPMODEL. Infiltration-excess overland flow is simulated in TOPMODEL as precipitation that exceeds the infiltration capacity of the soil and enters the stream channel. TOPMODEL was applied to 5- by 5-kilometer areas across the conterminous United [...]

Purpose

The infiltration-excess overland-flow dataset was developed to assist the U.S. Geological Survey's National Water-Quality Assessment (NAWQA) Program (Gilliom and others, 1995). The dataset was produced to help NAWQA national synthesis teams identify and quantify the watershed characteristics that theoretically affect flow paths of water through watersheds and their effects on water quality.
