Global River Discharge Database (SAGE)

This database contains a compilation of monthly mean river discharge data for over 3500 sites worldwide. Each station is located on a river and measures the rate that water flows through it at various times of the year. The data sources are RivDis2.0, the United States Geological Survey, Brazilian National Department of Water and Electrical Energy, and HYDAT-Environment Canada. The period of record for each station is variable, from 3 years to greater than 100. All data are in m3/s.

To access the data, click on the map at [http://www.sage.wisc.edu/riverdata/] to zoom in to the desired stations and data. Alternatively, the data can be accessed by using a key word search or by entering the river ID number if that is known. The data are provided in a tab-delimited format compatible with most spreadsheet programs.

本数据集收录了全球超过3500个监测站点的逐月平均河流径流量数据。每个监测站点均布设于河流之上，用于监测河道内水流流量随时间的变化情况。数据来源包括RivDis2.0、美国地质调查局、巴西国家水利与电力能源部以及加拿大环境部HYDAT数据库。各站点的监测记录时长存在差异，跨度为3年至100年以上，所有数据单位均为立方米每秒（m³/s）。
