    • Abstract:
      Statistical summaries of streamflow data collected at 184 streamgages in Iowa are presented in this report. All streamgages included for analysis have at least 10 years of continuous record collected before or through September 2013. This report is an update to two previously published reports that presented statistical summaries of selected Iowa streamflow data through September 1988 and September 1996. The statistical summaries include (1) monthly and annual flow durations, (2) annual exceedance probabilities of instantaneous peak discharges (flood frequencies), (3) annual exceedance probabilities of high discharges, and (4) annual nonexceedance probabilities of low discharges and seasonal low discharges. Also presented for each streamgage are graphs of the annual mean discharges, mean annual mean discharges, 50-percent annual flow-duration discharges (median flows), harmonic mean flows, mean daily mean discharges, and flow-duration curves. Two sets of statistical summaries are presented for each streamgage, which include (1) long-term statistics for the entire period of streamflow record and (2) recent-term statistics for or during the 30-year period of record from 1984 to 2013. The recent-term statistics are only calculated for streamgages with streamflow records pre-dating the 1984 water year and with at least 10 years of record during 1984–2013. The streamflow statistics in this report are not adjusted for the effects of water use; although some of this water is used consumptively, most of it is returned to the streams.

      This report is the final product of a two-year study that began October 1, 2013. In addition to the funding provided for this study by the Iowa Highway Research Board and the Iowa Department of Transportation (TR-669), the project was also funded by the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and the U.S. Geological Survey. The report was published as an online report on January 4, 2016. The report is available online at http://dx.doi.org/10.3133/ofr20151214. The main body of the report provides a description of the statistics presented for the streamgages and an explanation of the streamgage summaries, also included is a discussion of the USGS streamgage network in Iowa. Individual streamgage summaries are available as links listed in table 1, or all 184 streamgage summaries are available in a zipped file named “Streamgage Summaries.”
