WATSTORE: National Water Data Storage and Retrieval System of the U. S. Geological Survey; user's guide

Delineation of ecosystem regions

“…The data used were the streamflow observations collected by the U.S. Geological Survey at 57 hydrologic bench-mark stations (Cobb and Biesecker, 1971). These data for stations from all over the United States are available in a computerized data library called WATSTORE at the USGS computer in Reston, Virginia (Hutchison, 1975). Locations of the stations are shown in Figure 1 and listed in Table 1 For this study, data from 53 stations were analysed.…”

Comparisons of water quality during various streamflow conditions in five streams in northern New Jersey, 1982-97

“…Surface-water quality and instantaneous streamflow data for eight stations on five streams during water years 1982-97 (October 1, 1981, through September 30, 1997 were retrieved from WATSTORE (National Water Information System) (Hutchinson, 1975). The 16-year period of record was selected in order to have sufficient data for individual streamflow categories, especially data for storms.…”
