Desription

usgs-tools is a collection of tools, and Apps for interacting with the USGS API to query and download data for specific USGS gages.


Contents:

R and Python scripts interact with the available USGS services.

  • USGStools: Source codes and functions called by notebooks. Includes also tools to automatically retrieve streamflow data for select USGS Stream Gages.

  • StreamStats: Tools to automate the USGS StreamStats tool.

  • USGS_Filter_App: A web mapping application, called the USGS Gages Annual Flow Peak Tool, that generates a csv of peak streamflow data from NWIS sites located within a modifiable bounding box of a user-supplied NWIS gage.

Notebooks:

  • GageExplorer: USGS Stage/Discharge Gages Discovery. Download Data using the USGS Data Retrieval.

  • USGS_gage_filter: Filter USGS gages based on the record availability and drainage area similarity for a given USGS station.

  • ClipRaster_withMask: Tool to clip a stream grid raster by a catchment polygon.

  • StreamStats_API_Scraper_Auto: Tool to automatically run the USGS StreamStats tool for multiple points within a catchment and return the flow frequency curves and subcatchment boundaries.

  • StreamStats_ID_Points: Tool to identify confluence pair points for tributaries of a specific length, add points to the main stem of a stream network at a specific distance interval, and export a shapefile of the points.
