Daily Objectives #5 (January

Dr. Sanders
By the end of today's class, you should be able to do the following:
v Collect streamflow data from the USGS web site.
v Construct a hydrograph and analyze the factors that determine its shape.
v Separate a hydrograph into its two main components: runoff and baseflow.
You may wish to check precipitation records online by going to this NOAA site. First, find a station near your gage. Then, enter dates for which you want records, and then conduct the search. It takes a few minutes, but eventually you will get a response saying your records are ready. You'll be able to click on a link to open them.
