A regression model for computing index flows describing the median flow for the summer month of lowest flow in Michigan

Abstract: index water yield and flow statewide. In addition, a technique is presented for computing prediction intervals about the index flow estimates.

“…The tool provides a water availability map developed from estimated index flow for the lowest summer flow month via analysis of long-term streamflow gauging stations and regression modeling from ungauged stream sites (Hamilton et al 2008), and fish response curves related to catchment area, baseflow yield, and July mean temperature. The underlying model uses habitat suitability information from Michigan for over 40 fish species to predict assemblage structure and characteristic assemblages in river segments under a range of base flow reductions.…”

“…Developed by the Institute for Water Research at Michigan State University, MDNR, USGS, and Michigan Department of Environmental Quality, WWAT is a tool that estimates the amount of flow of a river or stream that could be reduced (e.g., through groundwater pumping) before the species composition and abundance of fish in the river would be adversely impacted (Reeves et al 2009). The tool provides a water availability map developed from estimated index flow for the lowest summer flow month via analysis of long-term streamflow gauging stations and regression modeling from ungauged stream sites (Hamilton et al 2008), and fish response curves related to catchment area, baseflow yield, and July mean temperature.

“…Each of these approaches presents difficulties, such as the reproducibility of professional judgment and the temporal disagreement between spatially distributed basin‐attribute data (land cover, climate, soil characteristics, etc. ), and between those data and the period of observed streamflow records (Koltun and Whitehead, ; Hamilton et al ., ; Knight et al ., ).…”

“…The GWCAC selected late summer stream base flow (defined as the August 50% exceedance flow; August is typically the lowest flow month during summer in Michigan) as an ecologically sensitive hydrologic metric and used a statewide statistical model to estimate this for each Michigan river segment (Hamilton et al ., 2008). Most instream flow studies elsewhere in North America have occurred on hydrologically unstable, high‐gradient streams whose thermal characteristics depend largely upon elevation and snowmelt runoff.…”
