| hasSummary |
-
This compilation of monthly river flow rate data, for most of the
globe except former Soviet Union countries, was prepared by Byron
Bodo from a combination of datasets from UNESCO, WMO GRDC, the
RIVDIS by Vorosmarty (1998), and others. The overall average length
of period of record is about 26.7 years. About 2/3 of the gauge
records have from 10-100+ years of data.
The USGS offers the CDROM "Hydro-Climatic Data Network: Streamflow
Data Set, 1874-1988". This consists of streamflow data measured at
1659 sites throughout the US and its territories. Daily mean,
monthly mean, annual mean, minimum and maximum values of discharge
are given for each water year. Stations selected distinguish human
influences.
