USGS Streamflow Sites - Powder/Tongue River Basin (2002)

This dataset contains all available United States Geological Survey Water Measurement streamflow site locations as of March 14, 2002. The data is intended to be used as a guide to available surface water flow measurement sites, within the entire Powder/Tongue River Basin Planning Area. For site specific data, one can use this dataset to obtain the station number/name so that the actual streamflow data necessary for analyses can be obtained from the USGS. A total of 121 streamflow measurement sites of all types are available. Daily streamflow is measured at 97 sites. Peak streamflow is measured at 102 sites (78 sites also measure daily flows). The 9 sites reporting real-time streamflows measurements (or recent daily measurements) also measure (and report) daily flows and peak flows. 40 sites also monitor stream water quality (5 real-time stations, 2 peak flow stations, 2 daily flow stations, and 31 stations reporting both daily and peak flows). One well site reports daily flows. 6 station report only daily streamflows, 38 report both daily and peak flows (but not water quality), 4 report real-time stations do not report water quality, and 22 stations report only peak streamflows. The 60 stations only reporting stream water quality (but not streamflow) and the 9 sites reporting lake/reservoir water quality are NOT included in this dataset but may be found in the "Powder/Tongue River Basin Plan - United States Geological Survey National Water Inventory System Sites" and the "Powder/Tongue River Basin Plan - United States Geological Survey National Water Inventory System Surface Water Quality Monitoring Sites" datasets.
