Abstract

The purpose of this resource is to automate extraction of discharge data from the United States Geological Survey (USGS) National Water Information System (NWIS) (https://waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis), precipitation from PRISM Climate Group database (https://prism.oregonstate.edu/), and evapotranspiration from the OpenET databases (https://openetdata.org/). This resource is part of a semester project for the USU CEE 6110: Hydroinformatics class (Spring 2022).

Content

Readme.md

This resource includes the following:

  1. A digital elevation model (LoganDEM)
  2. The pour point latitude and longitude coordinates (LoganOutletUSGSgage)
  3. 1_TauDEMDelineation.ipynb This notebook uses the digital elevation model (LoganDEM) and the pour point coordinates to delineate the watershed

  4. 2_Collection_of_Precipitation_and_streamflow_data.ipynb This notebook aims to download precipitation data from the PRISM database, streamflow data from USGS NWIS database, and evapotranspiration data from the OpenET database. The notebook also calculates evapotranspiration rates using the simplified water balance model (ET = P -Q) and compares them to the OpenET evapotranspiration rates.

  5. 3_Data_Analysis.ipynb This notebook aims to plot precipitation, discharge, and calculated evapotranspiration data. The notebook also used to calculate watershed the runoff ratio.

  6. SampleOutcomes This folder contains sample precipitation and OpenET evapotranspiration data that were retrieved for the Logan River Watershed located in the north-central part of the US State of Utah. The folder also includes the Logan River Watershed annual precipitation, discharge, and calculated evapotranspiration rates.

    • SamplePRISMPrecipitationData.csv
    • SampleOpenETData.csv
    • Precipitation_Discharge_Evapotranspiration.csv
  7. A Referenced content file This file redirects to the resource (https://www.hydroshare.org/resource/9c4a6e2090924d97955a197fea67fd72/) where the first notebook (1_TauDEMDelineation.ipynb) were taken from.
