Estimated Perennial Streams in Idaho, indexed to the NHDPlus

Published by U.S. Geological Survey | Department of the Interior | Metadata Last Checked: February 10, 2026 | Last Modified: 2020-11-17T00:00:00Z
Perennial streams in Idaho have been modeled using regression equations for 7-day, 2-year low flows (7Q2) described in Wood and others (2009, U.S. Geological Survey Scientific Investigations Report 2009-5015). The model produces "synthetic" streams based on 10-meter resolution digitial elevation models that have been processed to agree closely with 1:24,000-scale National Hydrography Dataset flowlines. See Larger_Work_Citation report text for a complete description of the modeling process. In this dataset, the synthetic stream lines have been indexed to the NHDPlus Version 01_02 (schema version 1, data version 2). Points along the synthetic streams where 7Q2 model estimates exceeded 0.1 cubic feet per second were snapped to the NHDPlus 1:100,000-scale flowlines, and then traced downstream using the NHDPlus network. The data are presented in the form of a dBase-format event table. The traced line events correspond to synthetic stream lines having PerCode values of 2 or 3.
