Runoff
URL: https://www.epa.gov/national-aquatic-resource-surveys/streamcat-dataset#access-streamcat-data
This dataset represents the estimated surface water runoff within individual, local NHDPlusV2 catchments and upstream, contributing watersheds. Attributes of the landscape layer were calculated for every local NHDPlusV2 catchment and then accumulated to provide watershed-level metrics.(see Data Sources for links to NHDPlusV2 data and metadata) The landscape layer (raster) was developed with a water-balance model developed by Dave Wolock of the USGS and is detailed further in the paper "Independent effects of temperature and precipitation on modeled runoff in the conterminous United States". McCabe and Wolock[2011] Runoff is defined as the flow per unit area delivered to streams and rivers in units of millimeters per month. The runoff estimates were summarized to produce local catchment-level and watershed-level metrics as a continuous data type.
