Jacob Stout CEE 6440 Utah State University Correlating USGS gages based on hydrologic and watershed characteristics to extract hydrologic metrics of non-gaged rivers. Jacob Stout CEE 6440 Utah State University

Introduction How similar are the watersheds that are being compared? USGS gage data is very useful. Not located everywhere (Utah: 153 sites, Texas: 561 sites) Common to rely on nearby gages for non-gaged rivers or gaged rivers with poor records. How similar are the watersheds that are being compared? Which gages are best to use to compare to my watershed?

Diamond Fork River Watershed Study Site: Diamond Fork River Watershed

Background Diamond Fork River Watershed Used as delivery system for irrigators (1913-Present). 400-500 cfs during the summer. Natural 2yr flood ~ 163 cfs Natural 10yr flood ~ 267 cfs

Overall Objective: Prescribe a flow regime that will yield a healthy ecosystem. Identify hydrologic parameters of ecologic and geomorphic importance

GIS Project Objective: Compare surrounding watersheds that have USGS gages to the Diamond Fork River Watershed Use gage record of the watershed that is most similar to the Diamond Fork River Watershed to extract hydrologic parameters of ecologic and geomorphic importance. Magnitude Frequency Timing Duration Rate of Change Predictability

Hydrology and Watershed Characteristics Data Needed Topography Soil/Geology Weather Land Cover Basic Water Balance Equation

Data Gage Locations (USGS.gov) 10 meter NED DEM (USDA:NRCS:Geospatial Data Gateway) National Land Cover Database (USDA:NRCS:Geospatial Data Gateway) STATSGO (USDA:NRCS:Geospatial Data Gateway) Geology of Utah (http://pubs.usgs.gov/of/2005/1305) PRISM data (precipitation and temperature) (PRISM Climate Group)

Methods USGS Gages: ~ 50 miles of Diamond Fork Select Most “Natural” Watersheds

Methods Delineate Watersheds from USGS gages Clip characteristic data to watershed (using Batch) Using Zonal Statistics, extract watershed characteristics Watershed Characteristics Area Drainage Density Elevation (Mean, Max, Min, St.Dev) Mean Precipitation (30yr Normal) Mean, Max, Min Temperature (30yr Normal) Land Cover (%) Soil (%) Slope(Mean, St.Dev) Geology (%)

Results

Results Statistical Methods to test for Similarity: Dissertation: Characterizing Ecologically Relevant Variations in Streamflow Regimes, by Kiran J. Chinnayakanahalli Linear Discriminant Analysis Classification and Regression Trees Random Forests Support Vector Machines Basic Weighting Scheme

Future Work Conduct thorough statistical analysis Possibly include more gages in project, automate in python, R. Hydrologic analysis of most similar watershed.
