Streamflow statistical summaries for Colorado streams through September 30, 1975; Volume 3, Colorado River basin from Gunnison River to San Juan River

This report contains statistical summaries of daily streamflow data as of September 30, 1975, for 234 stations west of the Continental Divide in Colorado and adjacent States for use by agencies and individuals engaged in water studies. To be included in this report, a station had to have a minimum of 3 complete water years (October 1 to September 30) of record and 3 complete climatic years (April I to March 31) of record having virtually constant effects of regulation and diversion, and to have had streamflow records previously reviewed and published by the U.S. Geological Survey. Duration tables show the distribution of daily discharges for each water year ending September 30. High-flow sequence tables show the highest mean discharge for 1, 3, 7, 15, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 183 consecutive days of each water year. Low-flow sequence tables show the lowest mean discharge for 1, 3, 7, 14, 30, 60, 90, 120, and 183 consecutive days of each climatic year. For monthly flows the following statistics have been computed for each station having 5 or more complete water years of record: (1) mean, (2) variance, (3) standard deviation, (4) skewness, (5) coefficient of variation, and (6) percentage of average flow. The first five items were also computed for the water year annual flows along with the first order serial correlation coefficient. For stations which have had virtually instantaneous significant changes in the effects of regulation and diversion, a maximum of two sets of summaries are shown. Referenced reports describe procedures for processing and interpreting the streamflow statistics.

Water resources data for California, water year 1976; Volume 1: Colorado River basin, southern Great Basin from Mexican border to Mono Lake basin, and Pacific Slope basins from Tijuana River to Santa Maria River

Water-resources data for the 1976 water year for California consist of records of stage, discharge, and water quality of streams; stage, contents, and water quality of lakes and reservoirs; records of water levels in selected observation wells; and selected chemical analyses of ground water. Records for a few pertinent streamflow and water-quality stations in bordering States are also included. The records were collected and computed by the Water Resources Division of the U.S. Geological Survey under the direction of Lee R. Peterson, district chief; Winchell Smith, assistant district chief for hydrologic data; and Leonard N. Jorgensen, chief of the basic-data section. These data, a contribution to the National Water Data System, were collected by the Geological Survey and cooperating local, State, and Federal agencies in California.
