Peak-Flow Frequency Analysis for 464 U.S. Geological Survey Streamgages in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, Based on Data Through Water Year 2017

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Central Midwest Water Science Center (CMWSC) completed a report (Over and others, 2023) documenting methods for peak-flow frequency analysis in Illinois following Bulletin 17C guidelines. The methods are used to provide estimates of peak-flow quantiles for 50-, 20-, 10-, 4-, 2-, 1-, 0.5-, and 0.2-percent annual exceedance probabilities (AEPs) for selected USGS streamgages. This data release presents peak-flow frequency analyses for selected streamgages in Illinois, Indiana, and Wisconsin, based on data through water year 2017 (a water year is the period from October 1 to September 30 and is designated by the year in which it ends; for example, water year 2017 was from October 1, 2016, to September 30, 2017).
