KRIS Russian River: Meta Information Page
This page contains detailed information about a data set in KRIS, including where the original data reside and how to contact the sources for the data. Data sets are linked to the appropriate page by means of the Meta Identifier. Many data sets can be linked to same page by sharing the same Meta Identifier.
| Meta Identifier | IHA_discharge |
| Type of Data | Stream flow statistics of Dry Creek pre and post completion of Warm Springs Dam |
| Originator | Institute For Fisheries Resources |
| Description | Stream flow statistics computed to analyze hydrologic characteristics for periods proceeding and following major hydrologic impacts, such as, the competition of Warm Springs Dam. Flow statistics were computed utilizing US Geological Survey daily average stream flow data (gauging station #11465200) and the Indicators of Hydrologic Alteration (IHA) software package. |
| Area | Dry Creek (Warm Springs Dam) |

| Notes | pre-impact period was 1960-1982. post-impact period was 1984-2001 |
| Data Set Name | flow_usgs11465000_drycreek_exceedances.dbf, flow_usgs11465000_drycreek_maximumexceedances.dbf, flow_usgs11465000_drycreek_minimumexceedances.dbf, flow_usgs11465000_drycreek_monthlyalteration.dbf |

| Purpose | To analyze the temporal hydrologic impacts associated with the completion of Warm Springs Dam on Dry Creek. |
| Data Quality Information | good; pre and post-impact periods are limited by the existing daily flow record and analysis results my be subject to large variability of long-term weather patterns. |
| Use Constraints | Analysis only considers the impact of Warm Springs Dam and does not address hydrologic impact associated with land use and gravel mining. |
| Supplemental Information | IHA was developed by The Nature Conservancy and Smythe Scientific Software for calculating hydrologic regime characteristics, and to analyze changes in those characteristics over time. |
