Understanding River Networks and Basin Properties for Hydrograph Analysis
Explore the National Hydrography Dataset to visualize basin structures, assess basin level properties' influence on hydrographs, and compare USGS data with NHD. Learn about basin properties affecting hydrographs and the significance of confluence effects in river networks.

Presentation Transcript
objectives Visualize basin structure using National Hydrography dataset Asses the influence of basin level properties on hydrographs Compare USGS hydrographs to their upstream river networks (NHD)
Warm up Describe 3 basin level properties that would affect a hydrograph Draw 2 images for each, 1 river network, and the corresponding hydrograph
Warm up answers Confluence effects meaning, tributary is of sufficiently similar size to mainstem so that its contribution has an effect. Figure from: BENDA, L., N. L. POFF, D. MILLER, T. DUNNE, G. REEVES, G. PESS, and M. POLLOCK. 2004. The Network Dynamics Hypothesis: How Channel Networks Structure Riverine Habitats. BioScience54:413.
