Meta Identifier	USGS_Flow
Type of Data	Streamflow metrics from the U.S. Geological Survey
Originator	U.S. Geological Survey
Description	Average daily and annual peak discharge measurements at U.S. Geological Survey streamflow gages. The USGS also recently published a report analyzing changes in flow patterns over time.

Data Set Name	flow_annual_peaks_sheepscot.dbf, flow_dailyave_sheepscot_usgs.dbf, flow_dailyave_sheepscot_usgs1939_1948.dbf, flow_dailyave_sheepscot_usgs1949_1958.dbf, flow_dailyave_sheepscot_usgs1959_1968.dbf, flow_dailyave_sheepscot_usgs1969_1978.dbf, flow_dailyave_sheepscot_usgs1979_1988.dbf, flow_dailyave_sheepscot_usgs1989_1998.dbf, flow_dailyave_sheepscot_usgs1999_2002.dbf, flow_stats_sheepscot_usgs01038000.dbf
Date of Content Start	10/1/1939
Date of Content End	9/30/2002
Maint. and Update Freq.	annually
Data Quality Information	Gauges operate at different sites for varying lengths of time. Consequently, it is difficult to discern changes in flow patterns relative to cumulative watershed effects over time at most locations.
Use Constraints	none
Supplemental Information	The USGS finalizes and publishes the daily data in a series of water-data reports. Daily streamflow data and peak data are updated annually following publication of the reports.
