Summary

The U.S. Geological Survey Dakota Water Science Center, in cooperation with the Federal Highway Administration, analyzed annual peak-flow data to determine if trends are present and provide attribution of trends where possible. Work for the national trend attributions for nonstationary annual peak-flow records was broken into seven regions that are loosely based off of two-digit hydrologic unit watershed boundaries. Each of the regions made attributions for nonstationary annual peak-flow records using both monotonic trends and change point for 50 (1966-2015) and 75 (1941-2015) year trends. Each child page contains four supporting comma separated values (csv) files (50-year monotonic, 75-year monotonic, 50-year change point, and 75-change [...]

Purpose

The purpose of this dataset is to support the results and interpretation of the attribution of peak flow trends and change points. Identifying and understanding the causes of trends and change points in peak-flow data is important so that design of infrastructure such as bridges, can be better informed to accommodate anticipated future changes in peak-flow magnitudes.
