Definitions 

Classified stream is a stream listed on the Kansas Surface Water Register that is regulated by the Kansas 

Department of Health and Environment. 

Climatic year is the 12-month period January 1 through December 31. 

Controlled stream segment is a stream segment affected by releases from large reservoirs. 

Unclassified stream is a stream not listed on the Kansas Surface Water Register that is not regulated by 

the Kansas Department of Health and Environment. 

Uncontrolled stream segment is a stream segment not affected by releases from large reservoirs. 

Water year is the 12-month period October 1 through September 30. The water year is designated by the 

calendar year in which it ends. Thus, the year ending September 30, 2000, is called the “2000 water year.”

VI Estimates of Median Flows for Streams on the Kansas Surface Water Register 
Estimates of Median Flows for Streams on the Kansas 

Surface Water Register 

By Charles A. Perry, David M. Wolock, and Joshua C. Artman 

Abstract 

The Kansas State Legislature, by enacting 

Kansas Statute KSA 82a–2001 et. seq., mandated 

the criteria for determining which Kansas stream 

segments would be subject to classification by the 

State. One criterion for the selection as a classified 

stream segment is based on the statistic of median 

flow being equal to or greater than 1 cubic foot per 

second. As specified by KSA 82a–2001 et. seq., 

median flows were determined from U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging-station data by 

using the most-recent 10-years of gaged data 

(KSA) for each streamflow-gaging station. 

Median flows also were determined by using 

gaged data from the entire period of record (allavailable hydrology, AAH). 

Least-squares multiple regression techniques 

were used, along with Tobit analyses, to develop 

equations for estimating median flows for uncontrolled stream segments. The drainage area of the 

uncontrolled gaging stations used in the regression 

analyses ranged from 2.06 to 12,004 square miles. 

A logarithmic transformation of the data was 

needed to develop the best linear relation for computing median flows. In the regression analyses, 

the significant climatic and basin characteristics, 

in order of importance, were drainage area, mean 

annual precipitation, mean basin permeability, and 

mean basin slope. Tobit analyses of KSA data 

yielded a root mean square error of 0.285 logarithmic units, and the best equations using Tobit analyses of AAH data had a root mean square error of 

0.247 logarithmic units. 

These equations and an interpolation proc

dure were used to compute median flows for t

uncontrolled stream segments on the Kansas S

face Water Register. Measured median flows f

gaging stations were incorporated into the reg

sion-estimated median flows along the stream 

ments where available. The segments that wer

uncontrolled were interpolated using gaged da

weighted according to the drainage area and t

bias between the regression-estimated and gag

flow information. On controlled reaches of Kan

streams, the median flow information was inte

lated between gaging stations using only gage

data weighted by drainage area. 

Of the 2,232 total stream segments on the K

sas Surface Water Register, 30 percent of the 

ments had an estimated median streamflow of 

than 1 cubic foot per second when the KSA an

sis was used. When the AAH analysis was us

40 percent of the segments had an estimated 

median streamflow of less than 1 cubic foot p

second. 

INTRODUCTION 

The expected amount and historical range of fl

in Kansas streams are important considerations fo

classification, evaluation, and regulation of water 

plies, recreation, aquatic life habitat, and pollution 

trol within the State. Kansas Statute KSA 82a–200

seq. (see Appendix A) specifically mentions medi

streamflow as one criterion for classifying stream

Current water-quality regulations in Kansas apply 

numeric water-quality criteria to the 2,232 stream 

ments listed on the Kansas Surface Water Register. 

Introductio
register is maintained by the Kansas Department of 

Health and Environment (KDHE) and is used to identify designated uses of stream segments. Numeric 

water-quality criteria for the stream segments are based 

on assigned designated uses. 

KSA 82a–2001 et. seq. defines one criterion for a 

classified stream segment as having a median flow of 

1 ft

3

/s or greater. Other criteria include whether a 

stream segment contains a wastewater discharge, contains threatened or endangered species, or has a cost/ 

benefit ratio less than 1 where median streamflows are 

0 ft

3/s. Median flow statistics for stream segments are 

based on daily flow data collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) at 214 streamflow-gaging stations 

with 10 or more years of record located throughout 

Kansas and surrounding States (fig. 1). The current and 

historical streamflow information collected by the 

USGS provides a resource for estimating the expected 

amount and range of streamflow throughout the State. 

The measured streamflow record can be used to define 

statisticsthatsummarize historicalstreamflow amounts 

at each stream gage. These statisticsthen can be related 

to the physical characteristics of the drainage basins 

that contribute to measured flow at the gage. Furthermore, a statistical model that is based on these relations 

can be used to estimate streamflow statistics for 

ungaged stream segments. Therefore, information on 

median flow characteristics is needed for streams 

in Kansas. 

To address this need, a study of median flows for 

Kansas streams was conducted by the USGS in cooperation with KDHE. Streamflow data used in this study 

were collected by the USGS (Putnam and others, 2001) 

through other cooperative studies with various government agencies. 

Purpose and Scope 

The purpose of this report is to document the methods and results of a study designed to estimate the 

median flow (50-percent flow duration) for the downstream end of each stream segment listed on the Kansas 

Surface Water Register. Median flow for each stream 

segment was determined from gaged-location streamflow records or was estimated from statewide regression models. This report documents development of 

regression models to estimate median flow from climatic and basin characteristics. The report describes 

application of the drainage-area ratio method and the 

regression models to estimate the median flows for

. 

Many studies have been conducted to evaluate low 

flow from regression equations that relate low flow to 

basin characteristics. In a recent USGS study (Ries and 

Friesz, 2000), basin characteristics were determined 

from digital map data, and flow statistics were computed for individual stream segments using GIS techniques. Ries and Friesz (2000) used the drainage-area 

ratio method to compute streamflow characteristics for 

stream segments that had between 0.5 and 1.5 times the 

drainage area of streamflow-gaging stations on the 

same stream. Many States have used regression analysis to regionalize low-flow frequency statistics including New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont 

(Johnson, 1970); Pennsylvania and New York (Ku and 

others, 1975); Maine (Parker, 1977); Massachusetts 

(Male and Ogawa, 1982; Vogel and Kroll, 1990; Risley, 

1994; Ries and Friesz, 2000); Montana (Parrett and 

Hull, 1985); Indiana (Arihood and Glatfelter, 1991); 

and central New England (Wandle and Randall, 1994). 

FACTORS AFFECTING STREAMFLOW 

Physical Setting 

Physiographically, Kansas is located almost 

entirely within the Interior Plains as described by 

Schoewe (1949). A description of the hydrologic characteristics of the physiographic provinces within the 

Interior Plainsis beyond the scope of thisreport, but the 

fact that there are significant variations denotes the 

complex nature of and difficulty in attempting to define 

flow characteristics across Kansas. 

The topography of the western two-thirds of the 

State is typical of the High Plains region and is characterized by flat or gently sloping surfaces with little 

relief. The topography of the eastern one-third of the 

State is more variable, with alternating hills and lowlands. Land-surface elevations within the State range 

from about 700 ft above the North American Vertical 

Datum of 1988 (NAVD 88) at the Kansas-Oklahoma 

State line in southeast Kansas to about 4,135 ft above 

the NAVD 88 at a point near the Kansas-Colorado State 

line in western Kansas—a vertical difference of about 

3,435 ft (fig. 2). The average land-surface slope for 

Kansas (fig. 3) using 30-m grid elevation data is about 

1.9 degrees. 

Other physical characteristics affecting th

characteristics of watersheds are the types of 

land-use and treatment practices within the ba

example, with all other factors being equal th

flow potential from watersheds with soils of l

meability (fig. 4) is less than that from waters

where highly permeable soils tend to allow gr

infiltration and a greater ground-water contrib

base flow of the stream. The western two-thir

State typically has soils of moderate to high p

ity, whereas the eastern one-third has soils of l

meability. Land-treatment practices, such as 

farming and construction of water-retention st

can increase the amount of infiltration of runo

ground water, which ultimately returns to stre

nels as base flow. However, land-treatment p

are difficult to assess and apply to the various 

basins statewide. 

Climatic Characteristics 

The climate of Kansas is affected by the m

various air masses of tropical and continental 

over the open, inland plains, and seasonal prec

extremes are common. About 70 percent of th

annual precipitation falls from April through 

ber. Precipitation during early spring and late 

occurs in association with frontal air masses t

duce low-intensity rainfall of regional covera

ing the summer months, the weather is domin

warm, moist air from the Gulf of Mexico or by 

air from the Southwest. Summer precipitation 

ally occurs as high-intensity thunderstorms. 

Watersheds in Kansas exhibit a wide rang

matic characteristics that affect streamflow. G

precipitation varies in an east-west direction, w

north-south variation. The general climate of 

ern part of Kansas is semiarid with hot, dry su

months and cold, windy winter months. The e

part of the State tends to be more humid, with 

summer months and cold, damp winter month

annual precipitation, the major climatic factor 

streamflow in the State, varies from about 16 

extreme western Kansas to about 42 in. in sou

3Mean basin permeability for each gaging station from U.S. Department of Agriculture (1994).
4Mean basin slope for each gaging station from U.S. Geological Survey (1998).

Basin Characteristics 

Basin characteristics used in the analyses were 

selected on the basis of their theoretical relation to differences in flow magnitudes of streams, results of previous studies in similar hydrologic environments, and 

on the ability to measure them. The basin characteristics considered in this report included drainage area, in 

square miles; mean basin elevation, in feet above 

NAVD 88; mean basin permeability, in inches; mean 

basin slope, in degrees; a Base Flow Index (Wahl and 

Wahl, 1995); mean annual runoff for hydrologic basins 

in the United States, in cubic feet per second (Gebert 

and others, 1987); and runoff from the PRISM model 

(parameter-elevation regressions on independent slope 

model), in cubic feet persecond, using the mean annual 

precipitation grid for the United States developed by 

Daly and others (1994). The mean annual runoff 

reflects the difference between precipitation and evapotranspiration. Selected basin characteristics for the 

149 streamflow-gaging stations used in the regression 

analyses for uncontrolled stream segments are 

provided in table 1. 

All basin characteristics were measured from digital-map data using automated GIS procedures. The 

automated procedure was created using the AML programming language of the ARC/INFO GIS software

1991). The automated procedure determines the drainage-basin boundary at the gaging station or for the 

downstream end of a stream segment and creates a digital data layer of the basin boundary, then overlays the 

boundary on the other digital data layers to determine 

the other basin characteristics for the station or segment. The grid values then are averaged for the area 

within the drainage basin. 

METHODS FOR ESTIMATING MEDIAN FLOWS 

Climatic and basin characteristics were used in the 

analyses of median flows at gaged and ungaged sites on 

controlled and uncontrolled streams. For this study, 

ARC/INFO GIS software was used to estimate climatic 

and basin characteristics. Many spatial data sets were 

available for this task, including: (1) 30-year 

(1961–90) mean annual precipitation data (Daly and 

others, 1997), (2) 30-m gridded elevation data (U.S. 

Geological Survey, 1998) for determining drainage 

area, mean basin slope, and mean basin elevation, and 

(3) STATSGO soil-permeability data (U.S. Depart

of Agriculture, 1994). 

The flow information was derived from 216 ga

stations in Kansas and the surrounding States wit

least 10 years of streamflow record. Streamflow a

Gaged Stream Sites 

The USGS has established standard methods 

estimating flow duration (Searcy, 1959) for stream

flow-gaging stations. The computer software prog

IOWDM, ANNIE, and SWSTAT were used to for

input data, manage and display data, and complet

flow-duration statistical analyses (Lumb and othe

1990; Flynn and others, 1995). These programs a

Daily mean flows for all complete water year

for continuous-record, streamflow-gaging stations

A flow-duration curve is a graphical represent

of the percentage of time streamflows for a given 

Methods for Estimating Median Flows 
step (usually daily) are equaled or exceeded over a 

specified period (usually the complete period ofrecord) 

at a stream site. Flow-duration curves usually are constructed by first ranking all of the daily mean dischargesfor the period of record at a gaging station from 

largest to smallest, next computing the probability for 

each value of being equaled or exceeded, then plotting 

the discharges against their associated exceedance 

probabilities (Loaiciga, 1989, p. 82). The daily mean 

discharges are not fit to an assumed distribution. Flowduration analysis can be done by use of the USGS software described previously or by use of commercially 

available statistical software. 

Flow-duration statistics are points along a flowduration curve. For example, the 99-percent duration 

streamflow is equaled or exceeded 99 percent of the 

time, whereas the 50-percent duration streamflow is 

equaled or exceeded 50 percent of the time. Strictly 

interpreted, flow-duration statistics reflect only the 

period for which they are calculated; however, when 

the period of record used to compute the statistics is 

sufficiently long, the statistics often are used as an indicator of probable future conditions (Searcy, 1959). 

Median-flow statistics in this report were determined 

using the Loaiciga (1989) approach. 

Ungaged Stream Sites 

Estimates of streamflow statistics often are needed 

for sites on streams where no data are available. The 

two methods most commonly used to estimate statistics 

for ungaged sites are the drainage-area ratio method 

and multiple linear-regression analysis. The drainagearea ratio method is most appropriate for use when the 

ungaged site is near a streamflow-gaging station on the 

same stream. Multiple linear-regression analysis is 

used to obtain estimates for most other ungaged sites. 

Drainage-Area Ratio Method 

The drainage-area ratio method assumes that the 

streamflow at an ungaged site for the same stream isthe 

same per unit area or at least responds in the same fashion as that at a nearby, hydrologically similar streamflow-gaging station used as an index. Drainage areas 

for the ungaged site and the index station are determined from topographic maps, digital elevation maps 

(DEMs), or by other GIS methods. Streamflow statistics are computed for the index station, then the statistics are divided by the drainage area to determine 

streamflows per unit area at the index station. 

values are multiplied by the drainage area at t

ungaged site to obtain estimated statistics for 

This method is most commonly applied when

No limit was placed on the ratios between the 

area of the index station and the drainage area 

ungaged stream segment. 

Multiple Linear-Regression Analyses 

Multiple linear-regression analysis (regre

analysis) has been used by the USGS and oth

researchersthroughout the United States and e

to develop equations for estimating streamflo

tics at ungaged sites. In regression analysis, a 

flow statistic (the dependent variable) for a gr

gaging stations is related statistically to the cl

basin characteristics of the drainage basins fo

tions (the independent variables). This result

equation that can be used to estimate the stati

sites where no streamflow data are available. 

Equations can be developed by use of sev

ferent regression analysis algorithms. The var

algorithms use different methods to minimize 

ferences between the values of the dependent 

for the stations used in the analysis (the obser

16 Estimates of Median Flows for Streams on the Kansas Surface Water Register 
values) and the corresponding values provided by the 

resulting regression equation (the estimated or fitted 

values). Choice of one algorithm over another depends 

on the characteristics of the data used in the analysis 

and on the underlying assumptions for use of the algorithm. The multiple linear-regression equation takes 

the general form: 

Yi

= b0+ b1X1 +b2X2 +...+ bnXn+ εi, (1) 

where Yi isthe value of the dependent variable forsite i, 

X1 to Xn are the n independent variables, b0 to bn are the 

n + 1 regression-model coefficients, and εi

 is the error 

(difference between the observed and estimated values 

of the dependent variable) for site i. Assumptions for 

use of regression analysis are (1) equation 1 adequately 

describes the relation between the dependent and the 

independent variables, (2) the variance of the εi is constant and independent of the values of Xn, (3) the εi are 

normally distributed for a Tobit regression, and (4) the 

εi

 are independent of each other (Inman and Conover, 

1983, p. 367). Tobit regression is discussed in the following paragraph. Regression analysis results must be 

evaluated to assure that these assumptions are met. 

Streamflow and basin characteristics used in hydrologic regression usually are log normally distributed; 

therefore, transformation of the variables to logarithms 

is usually necessary to satisfy regression assumption 3. 

Transformation results in a model of the form: 

log Y i = b0 + b1 log X1 + b2 log X2 +... + bn log X n 

+ εi. (2) 

The algebraically equivalent form when logarithmsbase 10 (log10) are used in the transformations, and the 

equation retransformed to original units is: 

Y i = 10 

bo ( X 1 

b1 )( X 2 b2 )...( X nbn )10 εi 

, or (3) 

[bo + b1log X 1 + b2log X 2 + ...bn log X n + εi ]

Y i = 10 . 

To include zero values in a logarithmic transformation regression analysis, the Tobit regression was used. 

Tobit regression is a widely accepted method for estimating a regression-like model when there are adjusted 

data (Tobin, 1958; Judge and others, 1985). Adjusted 

data are data that are either censored or have had 

crete value delta (δ) added to them. Censored dat

values below a threshold and are raised to the censo

value (for example, all values below 0.7 are raised 

0.7). Discrete values of delta (δ) are added to all 

before transformation and then subtracted from th

final regression model value. By applying these t

niques, zero values of data can be transformed log

mically. The Tobit procedure uses a maximum 

likelihood estimator. The Survival Regression Pro

dure in the S-Plus 2000 software package (MathS

1999) was used in this study to fit the Tobit mode

A Tobit analysis was conducted on both the K

and AAH data sets, and the resulting plots of obse

versus regression-estimated values of median flow 

from the KSA and AAH data sets are shown in 

figures 6A and 6B. The graphs show the observed 

median flow plotted with the regression-estimated 

median flow. All observed and regression-estimat

tation (PREC) was divided by 28, and the mean b

when using squared values. The addition of the squ

in this report this period was 1990 to 2000. Howe

more than 50 percent of the stations had their last

when 10 years of record from an earlier period is 

pared with a later period. Application of the KSA

streamflow data may mean that a new analysis wo

periods cover different streamflow regimes ranging 

from wet to dry. Had the most-recent 10 years been 

interpreted as the period 1991 to 2000, the analysis 

would have been biased toward trends or cyclicity in 

the climate during that period. By using the different 

time periods of streamflow data for AAH analysis, this 

bias is removed. The increased number of sampled 

days of flow in the AAH data set makes it more robust 

than the KSA data set, which has a reduced number of 

sampled days. 

KANSAS SURFACE WATER REGISTER 

In 1994, the Kansas Department of Health and 

Environment (KDHE) adopted the Reach File 

Version 2 (RF2) stream-segment coverage within the 

State of Kansas as the basic coverage for stream classification. RF2 was completed in the late 1980s by the 

U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (USEPA) by 

using the Feature File of the USGS Geographic Names 

Information System (GNIS) to add one new level of 

reach segments to the Reach File Version 1 (RF1) coverage. The source of RF1 (completed in 1982) was the 

USGS’s 1:250,000-scale hydrography that was photographically reduced to a scale of 1:500,000 by the 

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Association 

(NOAA). In addition to the RF2 segments, other segments have been added by KDHE to the Kansas Surface Water Register primarily for the protection of 

aquatic life and other water-quality issues. The original RF2 coverage has almost 30,000 subsegments in 

Kansas. By combining subsegments, the number of 

total segments for which median flows were determined in thisreport wasreduced to 2,232, which equals 

the number of segments listed in the current (2002) 

Kansas Surface Water Register. This number is about 

900 more segments than the RF1 coverage. The Kansas Surface Water Register of June 1, 1999, is a public 

document and can be obtained from the World Wide 

Web at http://www.kdhe.state.ks.us/pdf/befs/ 

register99.pdf. In addition to the 2,232 classified segments, there are segments that are unregulated that 

include lakes, tribal streams, and irrigation ditches. 

These segments were included in this report to complete the stream drainage pattern for the State. Each 

segment on the Kansas Surface Water Register is identified by a unique CUSEGA number (Appendix C, 

table 6, at the end of this report). CUSEGA stands for 

catalog unit segment number alpha.

a Base Flow Index (BFI), and the Gebert and PRISM 

flow model values. Output zonal statistics tables were 

relationally joined back to the original vector streams 

coverage so that each reach had an estimated value for 

each climatic and basin characteristic. 

ESTIMATES OF MEDIAN FLOWS FOR STREAM 

SEGMENTS 

Different procedures were used to estimate median 

flow for each stream segment on the Kansas Surface 

Water Register depending on whether the segment was 

controlled or uncontrolled and whether there was a 

streamflow-gaging station located either upstream or 

downstream from the segment. These interpolation 

procedures use the previously defined drainage-area 

ratio method and multiple linear-regression equations 

and are summarized in table 3. The interpolation procedures outlined in table 3 for an ungaged segment 

between two gaged segmentsselectsthe upstream gage 

segment (if there is more than one) that has the largest 

drainage area. These procedures were applied to flow 

statistics developed for KSA and AAH analyses for 

each stream segment on the Kansas Surface Water Register. Median-flow computations for controlled streamflow-gaging stations, used in the interpolation of the 

KSA and AAH analyses, are listed in table 4. Medianflow computations for the uncontrolled streamflowgaging stations, used in the interpolation of the KSA 

and AAH analyses, are listed in table 5 (Appendix B). 

The AAH median flow at gagesrepresenting controlled 

stream segments (those with large reservoirs upstream) 

was computed from the controlled period of record 

only. These records had to be at least 10 years in length 

during the period 1960 to 2000. Use of the 1960 to 

2000 time period maintains a degree of consistency for 

comparison and interpolation of median flows between 

gaging stations on controlled segments. 

Figure 7 shows part of a stream network and some 

stream gages in central Kansas. The numbers next to 

the stream gages are the most-recent 10-year median 

flow values for those gages. Regression equations were 

developed in the section on “Multiple LinearRegression Analyses.” The numbers next to the stream 

segments are the median flow values estimated from 

those regression equations. A comparison of the 

stream-segment median flow values with the streamgage median values shows substantial “local” differences between the stream-segment and stream-gage 

values. Figure 8 shows the effect of using the loc

stream-gage median values to develop estimated 

median streamflow values by KSA analysis for th

stream segments as outlined in table 3 and used in 

report rather than only using the regression-estim

values. The local differences in estimated median 

values noted in figure 7 (regression estimates) are 

as large in figure 8 (estimates derived in this repo

because of the use of local stream-gage data. As 

result, the interpolation procedure used in this repo

develop median flow estimates appears to develop 

more accurate estimates than those that result from 

using only the regression equations.

gaging stations and the regression equations from 

KSA and the AAH analyses were used with the

(72 to 260 percent). For the AAH analysis, the root 

mean square error was 0.247 log units (table 2), which 

translates into a 95-percent probability that the actual 

median flow for an estimate of 1 ft3

/s is between 

0.33 and 3.04 ft3/s (67 to 204 percent). The lowest 

uncertainties exist for stream segments with gages 

near the downstream end of those segments. For these 

stream segments the uncertainty is a fraction of the 

uncertainty of the gaging-station flow measurement 

and rating process due to the central tendency of the 

median statistic. The average uncertainty for those 

segments with gages varies from 7.3 percent for the 

KSA data to 4.3 percent for the AAH data. The 

95-percent confidence intervals for the gaged data used 

in the interpolation are listed in table 5 in Appendix B. 

Reporting estimated median values in table 6 and on

SUMMARY 

The Kansas State Legislature, by enacting Kansas 

Statute 82a–2001 et. seq. (KSA), has mandated the 

selection of Kansas streams for water-quality classification by the State. One criterion for selecting stream 

segments for classification is whether stream segments 

listed on the Kansas Surface Water Register have a 

median flow equal to or greater than 1 ft

3

/s. Therefore, 

information on median flow characteristics is needed 

for streams in Kansas. Daily streamflow information 

available for 214 gaging stations within Kansas and in 

adjacent States were used by the USGS in cooperation 

with KDHE to compute these statistics at gaged sites 

and to estimate these statistics at ungaged sites. 

Least-squares multiple-regression techniques, 

along with Tobit analyses, were used to develop equations for estimating median flow (dependent variable) 

for ungaged, uncontrolled stream segments. Median 

flows were determined from streamflow-gaging station 

data using the most-recent 10 years of gaged data as 

defined by KSA analysis, and from the entire peri

of record, which is defined in this report as the all

available hydrology (AAH) analysis. Independent 

ables in the regression equations were the climatic 

basin characteristics for streams flowing through 

sas. In the development of the regression equations

significant climatic and basin characteristics, in o

of importance, were drainage area, mean annual p

cipitation, mean basin permeability, and mean ba

slope. Only the 149 gages on uncontrolled streams 

at least 10 years of streamflow record were used i

regression analyses. The drainage area of these ga

ranged from 2.06 to 12,004 mi2

. 

A logarithmic transformation of the basin cha

teristics was needed to develop a linear relation fo

computing median flows. Because there were num

ous zero values for median gaging-station flows, t

Tobit regression was used to include those zero va

in the regression. The resulting regression equati

Summary
and an interpolation procedure were used to estimate 

median flows for the uncontrolled stream segments on 

the Kansas Surface Water Register. 

Streamflow-gaging-station data were used to 

improve the quality of the estimates along the streams 

that had gages. Median flows for the segments that 

were uncontrolled were interpolated using gaged data 

weighted according to the drainage area and the bias 

between the regression estimate and gaged flow information. On controlled reaches of Kansas streams, the 

median flow information was interpolated between 

gaging stations by using only gaged data weighted by 

drainage area. 

Of the 2,232 stream segments on the Kansas Surface Water Register, 30 percent of the segments had an 

estimated median flow of less than 1 ft3

/s when the 

most-recent 10 years of data (KSA analysis) were used. 

When all-available data (AAH analysis) were used, 

which resulted in a regression equation with a lower 

level of uncertainty when compared to KSA analysis, 

40 percent of the stream segments had an estimated 

median flow of less than 1 ft3/s.

82a-2001. Classified stream segments defined; other definitions. As used in this a

(a) (1) "Classified stream segments" shall include all stream segments that are waters of 

as defined in subsection (a) of K.S.A. 65-161, and amendments thereto, and waters described in 

subsection (d) of K.S.A. 65-171d, and amendments thereto, that: 

(A) Are indicated on the federal environmental protection agency’s reach file 1 (RF1) (19

have the most recent 10-year median flow of equal to or in excess of 1 cubic foot per second ba

data collected and evaluated by the United States geological survey or in the absence of stream 

flow data, calculations of flow conducted by extrapolation methods provided by the United Stat

Geological Survey; 

(B) have the most recent 10-year median flow of equal to or in excess of 1 cubic foot per 

based on data collected and evaluated by the United States geological survey or in the absence o

segment flow data, calculations of flow conducted by extrapolation methods provided by the Un

States geological survey; 

(C) are actually inhabited by threatened or endangered aquatic species listed in rules and 

regulations promulgated by the Kansas department of wildlife and parks or the United States fis

wildlife service; 

(D) (i) scientific studies conducted by the department show that pooling of water during 

of zero flow provides important refuges for aquatic life and permits biological recolonization of 

intermittently flowing segments; and 

(ii) a cost/benefit analysis conducted by the department and taking into account the econo

social impact of classifying the stream segment indicates that the benefits of classifying the stre

segment outweigh the costs of classifying the stream segment, as consistent with the federal clea

act and federal regulations; or 

(E) are at the point of discharge on the stream segment and downstream from such point 

the department has issued a national pollutant discharge elimination system permit other than a 

for a confined feeding facility, as defined in K.S.A. 65-171d, and amendments thereto. 

(2) Classified stream segments other than those described in subsection (a)(1)(E) shall n

include ephemeral streams; grass, vegetative or other waterways; culverts; or ditches.

deficiencies or artificial modifications, compared to more suitable habitats in adjacent waters. 

(3) "Domestic water supply" means the use of a classified stream segment, after appropriate 

treatment, for the production of potable water. 

(4) "Food procurement use" means the use of a classified stream segment for the obtaining o

edible forms of aquatic or semi aquatic life for human consumption. 

(5) "Groundwater recharge use" means the use of a classified stream segment for the replenish

purposes by industry, including withdrawals for cooling or process water. 

(7) (A) "Recreational use" means: 

Appendix A 
(i) Primary contact recreational use is use of a classified stream segment for recreation du

period from April 1 through October 31 of each year, provided such classified stream segment (a

or written permission of the landowner is open to and accessible by the public and (b) is capabl

supporting the recreational activities of swimming, skin diving, water-skiing, wind surfing, boa

mussel harvesting where the body is intended to be immersed in surface water to the extent that 

inadvertent ingestion of water is probable; 

(ii) Secondary contact recreational use: 

(a) is use of a classified stream segment for recreation, provided such classified stream s

(1) by law or by written permission of the landowner is open to and accessible by the public an

capable of supporting the recreational activities of wading or fishing where the body is not inten

be immersed and where ingestion of surface water is not probable; or 

(b) is use of a classified stream segment for recreation, provided such classified stream s

(1) is not open to and accessible by the public under Kansas law and (2) is capable of supportin

recreational activities of swimming, skin diving, water-skiing, wind surfing, boating, mussel har

wading or fishing. 

(B) If opposite sides of a classified stream segment would have different designated recr

uses due to differences in public access, the designated use of the entire classified stream segme

be the higher attainable use, notwithstanding that such designation does not grant the public acc

both sides of such segment. 

(C) Recreational use designations shall not apply to stream segments where the natural, 

ephemeral, intermittent or low flow conditions or water levels prevent recreational activities. 

(d) "Ephemeral stream" means streams that flow only in response to precipitation and w

channel is at all times above the water table. 

(e) "Secretary" means the secretary of health and environment.
