Estimates of Flow Duration, Mean Flow, and PeakDischarge Frequency Values for Kansas Stream Locations

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

Abstract

Streamflow statistics of flow duration and peak-discharge 

frequency were estimated for 4,771 individual locations on 

streams listed on the 1999 Kansas Surface Water Register. 

These statistics included the flow-duration values of 90, 75, 50, 

25, and 10 percent, as well as the mean flow value. Peak-discharge frequency values were estimated for the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 

50-, and 100-year floods.

Least-squares multiple regression techniques were used, 

along with Tobit analyses, to develop equations for estimating 

flow-duration values of 90, 75, 50, 25, and 10 percent and the 

mean flow for uncontrolled flow stream locations. The contributing-drainage areas of 149 U.S. Geological Survey streamflow-gaging stations in Kansas and parts of surrounding States 

that had flow uncontrolled by Federal reservoirs and used in the 

regression analyses ranged from 2.06 to 12,004 square miles. 

Logarithmic transformations of climatic and basin data were 

performed to yield the best linear relation for developing equations to compute flow durations and mean flow. 

In the regression analyses, the significant climatic and 

basin characteristics, in order of importance, were contributingdrainage area, mean annual precipitation, mean basin permeability, and mean basin slope. The analyses yielded a model 

standard error of prediction range of 0.43 logarithmic units for 

the 90-percent duration analysis to 0.15 logarithmic units for the 

10-percent duration analysis. The model standard error of prediction was 0.14 logarithmic units for the mean flow. Regression equations used to estimate peak-discharge frequency values were obtained from a previous report, and estimates for the 

2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year floods were determined for 

this report.

The regression equations and an interpolation procedure 

were used to compute flow durations, mean flow, and estimates 

of peak-discharge frequency for locations along uncontrolled 

flow streams on the 1999 Kansas Surface Water Register. Flow 

durations, mean flow, and peak-discharge frequency values 

determined at available gaging stations were used to interpolate 

the regression-estimated flows for the stream locations where 

available. Streamflow statistics for locations that had uncontrolled flow were interpolated using data from gaging stations 

weighted according to the drainage area and the bias between 

the regression-estimated and gaged flow information. On controlled reaches of Kansas streams, the streamflow statistics 

were interpolated between gaging stations using only gaged 

data weighted by drainage area. 

Introduction

The expected amount and historical range of flow in Kansas streams are important considerations for the classification, 

evaluation, and regulation of water supplies, recreation, 

aquatic-life habitat, pollution control, and the design of hydrologic structures within the State. Water-quality regulations in 

Kansas apply numeric water-quality criteria to classified stream 

segments. These 2,232 stream segments are listed on the 1999 

Kansas Surface Water Register. This register is maintained by 

the Kansas Department of Health and Environment (KDHE) 

and is used to identify designated uses of stream segments. 

 Flow-duration statistics for specific locations throughout 

Kansas and parts of surrounding States are available for 216 

continuous-record streamflow-gaging stations where daily flow 

data have been collected by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 

for 10 or more years (fig. 1). Peak-discharge frequency statistics 

for 253 peak streamflow-gaging stations in Kansas were used to 

develop regression equations to estimate peak streamflow at 

unregulated rural streams (Rasmussen and Perry, 2000). Two 

hundred and thirty-seven streamflow-gaging stations were used 

in the interpolation process described in a later section of this 

report (fig. 2). 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 

statistics that summarize historical streamflow amounts at each 

stream gage. These statistics then can be related to the physical 

characteristics of the drainage basins that contribute to measured flow at the gage. Furthermore, statistical models that are 

based on these relations can be used to estimate streamflow statistics for ungaged locations. 

To address the need for streamflow statistics, a study of 

flow durations, mean flow, and peak-discharge frequency information for Kansas streams was conducted by the USGS in 

cooperation with KDHE and the Kansas Department of Transportation. Streamflow data used in this study were collected by 

the USGS (Putnam and others, 2001) through other cooperative

years of record that were used in the interpolation process.
4 Estimates of Flow Duration, Mean Flow, and Peak-Discharge Frequency Values for Kansas Stream Locations

studies with various government agencies. This report includes 

analyses of flow durations of 90, 75, 50, 25, and 10 percent, 

mean flows, and the peak-discharge frequency values for the 

2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, and 100-year floods.

Purpose and Scope

The purpose of this report is to document the methods and 

results of a study designed to estimate the flow durations, mean 

flow, and the peak-discharge frequency values for locations on 

streams on the 1999 Kansas Surface Water Register (KSWR). 

In this report, 5,427 locations along the KSWR stream coverage 

were identified as determination sites for which flow statistics 

were computed from upstream climatic and basin conditions. 

Flow statistics were not reported for 656 of these determination 

sites because they were located on reservoirs or irrigation 

ditches. Flow statistics for each determination site either were 

computed from gaged-location streamflow records, estimated 

from statewide regression models, or interpolated between 

gaged locations or gaged and regression-estimated locations. 

This report documents the development of regression 

models to estimate flow durations and mean flow from climatic 

and basin characteristics. Regression equations for flow durations were developed using Tobit statistical analysis of uncontrolled flow durations determined at 149 gaging stations. 

“Uncontrolled flow” is defined as that streamflow that is unaffected by Federal reservoir releases. The entire period of record 

for each uncontrolled flow streamflow-gaging station was used 

in the analyses of flow durations. Regression equations for the 

estimation of peak discharge for unregulated rural streams in 

Kansas are available in (Rasmussen and Perry, 2000) and are 

used in this report. The equations were based on 253 streamflow-gaging stations in Kansas. 

This report describes application of the drainage-area ratio 

method and the regression model method of estimating the flow 

statistics for stream locations on the 1999 KSWR, the interpolation of estimates for ungaged locations, and the Internet dissemination of results and a geographic-information-system 

(GIS) database. The information contained in this report can be 

used by State agencies and others to help in the effective management of Kansas surface-water resources. Optimal reservoir 

operations, legally distributed in-stream withdrawals, and 

water-quality concerns are issues directly linked to flow durations. Peak-discharge frequency information is used in the cost 

effective construction of hydraulic structures such as bridges 

and culverts and for flood-plain management. The methods 

described herein can be applied nationwide using USGS 

streamflow data that are available throughout the United States.

Previous Studies

A study by Perry and others (2004) determined the median 

flow (50-percent duration) for the 2,232 complete stream segments on the 1999 KSWR. The methods of analysis for the flow 

durations and mean flow in this report are similar to the study 

by Perry and others (2004).

 Previous low-flow and flow-duration studies for Kansas 

include an investigation by Furness (1959) who developed a 

method for estimating flow-duration curves for ungaged sites 

that was based on regionalized flow-duration data from 122 

continuous-record, streamflow-gaging stations with drainage 

areas of between 100 and 3,000 mi2 for the period 1921–56. 

Maps were developed showing a variety of statewide low and 

mean streamflow. Furness (1959) also noted that the low-flow 

parts of the flow-duration curves could be verified or improved 

by relating base-flow measurements at the ungaged site to baseflow measurements at a nearby, index streamflowgaging station.

Jordan (1983) updated the maps developed by Furness 

(1959) by including additional streamflow-gaging stations and 

data for the period 1957–76. Jordan’s study included a map that 

depicted the areas of Kansas where the median streamflow for 

a 500-mi2 basin was greater than 0.1 ft3

/s. Two studies by Studley (2000, 2001) evaluated the application of the Furness 

method to ungaged stream sites in Kansas using nearby streamflow-gaging stations as index stations. The results of these two 

recent studies indicated that the Furness method continues to be 

a useful tool for estimating flow-duration curves for ungaged 

sites and that the method could be used for sites with drainage 

areas less than 100 mi2

. 

Many studies have been conducted to evaluate low flow 

and peak flows from regression equations that relate low flow 

and peak 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 in Massachusetts using GIS techniques. Ries and Friesz (2000) used the drainage-area ratio 

method to compute streamflow characteristics for stream segments in Massachusetts that had between 0.5 and 1.5 times the 

drainage area of streamflow-gaging stations on the same 

stream. Many other States have used regression analysis to 

regionalize low-flow frequency statistics including New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont (Johnson, 1970); New York 

(Ku and others, 1975); Montana (Parrett and Hull, 1985); Indiana (Arihood and Glatfelter, 1991); and central New England 

(Wandle and Randall, 1994). All the States have conducted 

regression analyses to regionalize peak-discharge frequency 

values, and these studies have been collected into a national 

report by Ries and Crouse (2002).

Factors Affecting Streamflow 5

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 Plains is beyond the scope 

of this report, 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 (Rasmussen and Perry, 2000) 

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 KansasColorado State line in western Kansas—a vertical difference of 

about 3,435 ft (fig. 3). The average land-surface slope for Kansas (fig. 4) using 30-m grid elevation data (U.S. Geological Survey, 1998) is about 1.9 degrees. 

Other physical characteristics affecting the flow characteristics of watersheds are the types of soils and land-use and treatment practices within the watershed. For example, with all other 

factors being equal the low-flow potential from watersheds with 

soils of low permeability (fig. 5) is less than that from watersheds where highly permeable soils tend to allow greater infiltration and a greater ground-water contribution to base flow of 

the stream (Thomas, 1966). The western two-thirds of the State 

typically has soils of moderate to high permeability, whereas 

the eastern one-third has soils of lower permeability. Landtreatment practices, such as contour farming and construction of 

water-retention structures, can increase the amount of infiltration of runoff to ground water, which ultimately can return to 

stream channels as base flow. However, land-treatment practices are difficult to assess and apply to the various types of 

basins statewide.

Climatic Characteristics

The climate of Kansas is affected by the movement of various air masses of tropical and continental origin over the open, 

inland plains, and seasonal precipitation extremes are common. 

About 75 percent of the mean annual precipitation falls from 

April through September. Precipitation during early spring and 

late fall occurs in association with frontal air masses that produce low-intensity rainfall of regional coverage. During the 

summer months, the weather is dominated by warm, moist air 

from the Gulf of Mexico or by hot, dry air from the Southwest. 

Summer precipitation generally occurs as high-intensity 

thunderstorms (Paulson and others, 1991). 

Watersheds in Kansas exhibit a wide range of climatic 

characteristics that affect streamflow. Generally, precipitation 

varies in an east-west direction, with little north-south variation. 

The general climate of the western part of Kansas is semiarid 

with hot, dry summer months and cold, windy winter months. 

The eastern part of the State tends to be more humid, with sultry 

summer months and cold, damp winter months. Mean annual 

precipitation, the major climatic factor affecting streamflow in 

the State, varies from about 16 in. in extreme western Kansas to 

about 42 in. in southeastern Kansas (Daly and others, 1997) 

(fig. 6). Mean annual precipitation values for 149 streamflowgaging station basins used in the regression analyses of flow 

durations and mean flow for uncontrolled flow stream locations 

on the KWSR are given in table 1.

Basin Characteristics

Basin characteristics used in the regression 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 

the characteristics. The basin characteristics considered in this 

report included contributing-drainage area, in square miles; 

mean basin elevation, in feet above NAVD 88; mean basin permeability, in inches per hour; 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 a water-balance 

model (Wolock and McCabe, 1999) (parameter-elevation 

regressions on independent slope model), in cubic feet per second, 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 final regression 

analyses for uncontrolled flow stream locations 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 (Environmental Systems Research 

Institute, Inc., 1991). The automated procedure determined the 

drainage-basin boundary at the gaging station or for the downstream end of a stream segment and created a digital data layer 

of the basin boundary, then overlaid the boundary on the other 

digital data layers to determine the other basin characteristics 

for the station or location. The grid values then were averaged 

for the area within the contributing-drainage basin. Basin slope 

was determined from the 30-m elevation grid using the GIS 

command SLOPE (Burrough, 1986). The slope in degrees is 

essentially an average of the slope between the center grid cell 

and its eight surrounding cells.

The peak-discharge frequency regression equations developed by Rasmussen and Perry (2000) require channel slope as 

one of their variables. Channel slope is defined as the difference

16 Estimates of Flow Duration, Mean Flow, and Peak-Discharge Frequency Values for Kansas Stream Locations

in elevation between 10- and 85-percent lengths of the main 

channel from the point of the stream statistic computation. In 

the GIS, the coverage for the streams was overlain on the elevation coverage. A program was developed to determine the longest continuous stream length upstream from the point of statistic 

computation. The 10-percent and 85-percent distance elevations 

were obtained, and along with the distance between the two 

points, a main-stream channel slope for each stream location 

was derived.

Methods for Estimating Flow Durations, 

Mean Flows, and Peak-Discharge 

Frequency Values

Climatic and basin characteristics were used in the analyses of flow durations and mean flows at gaged and ungaged 

sites on uncontrolled flow 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 contributingdrainage area, mean basin slope, and mean basin elevation, and 

(3) STATSGO soil-permeability data (U.S. Department of 

Agriculture, 1994).

The flow-duration information was computed for the 

216 gaging stations in Kansas and the surrounding States with 

at least 10 years of streamflow record. Streamflow at 149 of 

these stations, which were on uncontrolled flow stream locations (table 1), were included in the regression analyses to 

develop predictive equations for streamflow. The flows of 

uncontrolled flow stream locations are unaffected by storage 

and release from Federal upstream reservoirs. One hundred 

thirty-one streamflow-gaging stations in Kansas and 18 in surrounding States (3 in Missouri, 5 in Nebraska, and 10 in Oklahoma) measured uncontrolled flow. All available records 

through water year (October through September) 2000 were 

used to compute the flow duration and mean flow for these 

gaging stations.

Three gaging stations in Kansas that measured uncontrolled flow and had at least 10 years of record were not 

included in the regression analyses. One station, Indian Creek 

at Overland Park, Kansas (station 06893300), was not used 

because it is affected by extensive urbanization. Two other stations, Beaver Creek at Cedar Bluffs, Kansas (station 

06846500), and Paradise Creek near Paradise, Kansas (station 

06867500), were not used because streamflow statistics developed for these stations were not consistent with statistics for 

other nearby stations. These two gaging stations were located 

on stream reaches that were losing surface flow to ground water 

(losing streams).

Estimates at Gaged Stream Sites

The USGS has established standard methods for estimating flow duration (Searcy, 1959) for streamflow-gaging stations. The computer software programs IOWDM, ANNIE, and 

SWSTAT were used to format input data, manage and display 

data, and complete the flow-duration statistical analyses (Lumb 

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

available on the World Wide Web (URL http:// water.usgs.gov/

software/surface_water.html). For this study a computer software program was developed by the USGS (Xiaodong Jian, 

written commun., 2003) and was used to compute flow durations and mean flow using the data from the streamflow-gaging 

stations. This software program is on file at the USGS office in 

Lawrence, Kansas.

Daily mean flows for all complete water years of record 

were used to determine flow-duration statistics for continuousrecord, streamflow-gaging stations. The water year begins on 

October 1 and ends on September 30 of the following year. 

Daily mean flows for USGS streamflow-gaging stations in 

Kansas are available on the World Wide Web (URL 

http://waterdata.usgs.gov/ks/nwis/). 

A flow-duration curve (fig. 7) is a graphical representation 

of the percentage of time that streamflow for a given time step 

(usually daily) is equaled or exceeded during a specified period 

(usually the complete period of record) at a stream site. Flowduration curves usually are constructed by first ranking all of 

the daily mean discharges for the period of record at a gaging 

station from largest to smallest, next computing the probability 

for each value 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. Flow-duration 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 flow-duration 

curve. For example, the 99-percent duration streamflow is 

equaled or exceeded 99 percent of the time, whereas the 

50-percent duration streamflow (median) is equaled or 

exceeded 50 percent of the time. Strictly interpreted, flowduration 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). 

Estimates of peak discharge for selected frequencies can 

be computed by using observed annual peak-discharge data for 

streamflow-gaging stations. Log-Pearson Type-III distributions 

are fitted to the observed annual peak-discharge data for each 

streamflow-gaging station by using techniques recommended 

by the Interagency Committee on Water Data (1981).

Estimates at Ungaged Stream Sites

Estimates of streamflow statistics often are needed for 

sites on streams where no gaged data are available. The two

methods most commonly used to estimate statistics for ungaged 

sites are the drainage-area ratio method and multiple linearregression analysis. The drainage-area ratio method is most 

appropriate for use when the ungaged site is near a streamflowgaging 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 is the 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 streamflow per unit area at the 

index station. These values are multiplied by the drainage area 

at the ungaged site to obtain estimated statistics for the site. This 

method is most commonly applied when the index gaging station is on the same stream as the ungaged site because the accuracy of the method depends on the proximity of the two sites 

and on similarities in drainage area and on other climatic and 

basin characteristics of the respective drainage basins.

Several researchers have provided guidelines as to how 

large the difference in drainage areas can be before use of multiple linear-regression analysis is preferred over use of the 

drainage-area ratio method. Guidelines have been provided for 

estimating peak-discharge statistics, and usually the preferred 

guideline has been that the drainage area for the ungaged site 

should be within 0.5 and 1.5 times the drainage area of the index 

station (Sauer, 1974; Choquette, 1988, p. 41; Koltun and Roberts, 1990, p. 6; Lumia, 1991, p. 34; Bisese, 1995, p. 13). One 

report (Koltun and Schwartz, 1986, p. 32) selected a range of 

0.85 to 1.15 times the drainage area of the index station for estimating low flows at ungaged sites in Ohio. None of these 

researchers provided any scientific basis for use of these guidelines (R.E. Thompson, Jr., U.S. Geological Survey, written 

commun., 1999). 

In this report, streamflow statistics at controlled, ungaged 

sites were determined by the drainage-area ratio method with no 

limit on the ratios between the gaged-location drainage area and 

the ungaged-location drainage area. Flow statistics for uncontrolled flow, ungaged sites were determined by an interpolation 

procedure that utilized a drainage-area weighted ratio of gaged 

site information and regression-equation estimates at ungaged 

sites. This procedure is explained in greater detail in a following 

section, “Estimates of Streamflow Statistics for Stream Locations.”

Multiple Linear-Regression Analysis

Multiple linear-regression analysis (regression analysis) 

has been used by the USGS and other researchers throughout 

the United States and elsewhere to develop equations for estimating streamflow statistics at ungaged sites. In regression 

analysis, a streamflow statistic (the dependent variable) for a 

group of gaging stations is related statistically to the climatic or 

basin characteristics of the drainage basins for the stations (the 

independent variables). This results in an equation that can be 

used to estimate the statistic for sites where no streamflow data 

are available. 

Equations can be developed by use of several different 

regression analysis algorithms. The various algorithms use different methods to minimize the differences between the values 

of the dependent variable for the stations used in the analysis 

(the observed 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 linearregression equation takes the general form:

, (1)

where Yi is the value of the dependent variable for site 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 analysis, and (4) the εi

 are 

independent of each other (Inman and Conover, 1983, p. 367). 

Tobit analysis is discussed in the following paragraph. Regression analysis results need to 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:

. (2)

The algebraically equivalent form when logarithms-base 10 

(log10) are used in the transformations, and the equation retransformed to original units is:

; (3)

. (4)

To include zero values in a logarithmic transformation 

analysis, the Tobit analysis was used. Tobit analysis is a widely 

accepted method for estimating a regression-like model when 

there are adjusted data (Tobin, 1958; Judge and others,

1985; Cohn, 1988). Adjusted data are data that either are censored or have had a discrete value of delta (δ) added to them. 

Censored data are values less than a threshold value and are 

increased to the censoring value (for example, all values less 

than 0.7 are increased to 0.7). Discrete values of delta (δ) are 

added to all data before transformation and then subtracted from 

the final regression model value. By applying these techniques, 

zero values of data can be transformed logarithmically. The 

Tobit procedure uses a maximum likelihood estimator (Cohn, 

1988). The Survival Regression Procedure in the S-Plus 2000 

software package (MathSoft, 1999) was used in this study to fit 

the Tobit model.

A Tobit analysis was conducted for each of the flow durations and for the mean flow data sets, and the resulting plots of 

observed and regression-estimated values are shown in 

figures 8A through 8F. The graphs show the observed specific 

flow plotted with the regression-estimated flow. All observed 

and regression-estimated flow duration have the delta value 

added. 

The equations for regression-estimated flow durations and 

mean flow and uncertainty measures are listed in table 2. Only 

the 149 gaging stations on streams with uncontrolled flow with 

at least 10 years of record (table 1) were used in the regression 

analyses. The drainage area of these gaging stations ranged 

from 2.06 to 12,004 mi2

. The Chi2 is a measure of the fit of the 

Tobit analysis model. The delta value is varied until the Chi2

 is 

maximized. For these analyses the contributing-drainage area 

(CDA) was divided by 1,000, the 30-year mean precipitation 

(PREC) was divided by 28, and the mean basin slope (SLOPE) 

was divided by 2 before the log transformation was made so that 

the log values of each of these parameters were balanced 

between greater than and less than zero. This eliminated the 

multi-colinearity problems that occur when using squared values (A.V. Vecchia, USGS, written commun., 2002). The addition of the squares of log contributing-drainage area and log 

mean annual precipitation to the regression equation improved 

the models substantially. 

Regression equations for peak-discharge frequency estimates for Kansas are provided by Rasmussen and Perry (2000). 

Peak discharges were estimated at recurrence intervals (frequencies) ranging from 2 to 100 years using log-Pearson TypeIII (distributions for 253 streamflow-gaging stations in Kansas 

(see Rasmussen and Perry, 2000, table 5). The annual peakdischarge data, through the 1997 water year, were from streamflow-gaging stations with uncontrolled flow in mostly rural 

basins. A weighted least-squares regression model was used to 

generalize the coefficients of station skewness. The resulting 

generalized skewness equation provides more reliable skewness estimates for the log-Pearson Type-III analyses than the 

previously developed equation for Kansas (Clement, 1987).

Rasmussen and Perry (2000) used a generalized leastsquares regression model to develop equations for estimating 

peak streamflow for sites without stream gages for selected frequencies from selected physical and climatic basin characteristics for sites with stream gages. The equations can be used to 

estimate peak streamflow for selected frequencies using 

contributing-drainage area, mean annual precipitation, soil permeability, and slope of the main channel for ungaged sites in 

Kansas with contributing-drainage areas greater than 0.17 and 

less than 9,100 mi2. The equations and their errors are provided 

in table 3.

1999 Kansas Surface Water Register

In 1994, 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) 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 

(U.S. Environmental Protection Agency, 1996). 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 Administration (NOAA). 

In addition to the RF2 segments, other segments have been 

added to the KSWR by KDHE primarily for the protection of 

aquatic life and other water-quality issues. The 1999 KSWR has 

2,232 stream segments. Each segment on the 1999 KSWR is 

identified by a unique CUSEGA number (tables 7–111, at the 

end of this report). CUSEGA stands for catalog unit segment 

number alpha. Individual CUSEGA segments may have one or 

more subsegments associated with it. The KSWR of June 1, 

1999, is a public document and can be obtained from the World 

Wide Web (URL http://www.kdhe.state.ks.us/pdf/befs/

register99.pdf).

The original RF2 coverage had almost 30,000 subsegments in Kansas. By combining subsegments and by ending the 

stream segments at hydrologic breaks such as at the confluence 

of tributaries or at lakes, the total number of segments within 

Kansas was reduced to 5,427 for this report. Streamflow statistics were determined at the downstream end of these segments 

(called streamflow-statistics determination sites in this report). 

Of the 5,427 determination sites, 656 are located in lakes or 

along irrigation ditches where statistical computations are not 

reported. Therefore, stream statistics are reported at 4,771 sites 

and their associated stream segments. 

Because many of the stream basins in Kansas extend into 

the surrounding States, the data used for developing the 1999 

KSWR stream network, which is based on the more detailed 

RF2, were joined with the national RF1 coverage that is available for Colorado, Missouri, Nebraska, and Oklahoma. This 

process was done in a GIS procedure by clipping the Kansas

correct any remaining digitizing errors including cycles, overshoots, and undershoots (that is, an arc that does not extend far 

enough to intersect another arc). Finally, the topology was 

checked for consistency (that is, all segments point downstream). All GIS analyses were performed using the Environmental Systems Research Institute (ESRI) ArcGIS and ArcInfo 

software.

A GIS database was used to manage and display the basin 

characteristics and estimated streamflow statistics for stream 

locations on the 1999 KSWR. The relational database design 

facilitates identification and analysis of data unique to individual stream locations. The stream coverage and associated data 

are available on the World Wide Web (URL 

http://ks.water.usgs.gov/Kansas/studies/strmstats/index.shtml).

Basin Characteristics for Stream Locations

Drainage basins for each stream location on the 1999 

KSWR were determined in the GIS by converting the vector 

stream-location coverage into a raster-grid network with a raster size of 492 by 492 ft (150 by 150 m). Euclidean allocation 

was performed on the rasterized stream network to calculate for 

each cell the identity of the closest source or stream cell using 

the Euclidean distance. Euclidean distance is defined as the 

shortest length between two points in two-dimensional space. 

GIS Euclidean allocation zones may not coincide with actual 

topographic basin divides. Therefore, basin contributing-drainage areas obtained by the GIS method used herein may differ 

from those obtained using conventional topographic planimetering methods.

Mean values for climatic and basin characteristics were 

calculated for stream-location drainage basins using zonal statistics on basin-characteristic grids with Euclidean allocation 

zones. Zonal statistics were recorded in an attribute table and 

included the area and mean of the values of all cells in the basincharacteristic grids that belong to the same Euclidean zone. The 

climatic and basin characteristics computed included contributing-drainage area, mean annual precipitation, mean basin elevation, mean basin permeability, mean basin slope, a base-flow 

index (BFI), and mean annual runoff (Gebert and others, 1987) 

and water-balance model runoff (Wolock and McCabe, 1999) 

flow values. Output zonal statistics tables were relationally 

joined back to the original vector streams coverage so that each 

stream location had an estimated value for each climatic and 

basin characteristic for the entire basin upstream from each 

stream location. 

One parameter that needed a separate GIS computation 

was the main channel slope for each of the determination sites. 
24 Estimates of Flow Duration, Mean Flow, and Peak-Discharge Frequency Values for Kansas Stream Locations

The slope of the main channel is measured by dividing the difference in elevation at points in the channel at 10 and 85 percent 

of the distance upstream along the main channel length by the 

intervening main channel length. A computer software program 

was written (D.M.Wolock, USGS, written commun., 2003) that 

searches upstream from each determination site, finds the longest stream distance, computes the 10- and 85-percent distance 

locations, and uses the elevation at those locations and distance 

along the stream channel to determine the main channel slope.

Estimates of Streamflow Statistics for 

Stream Locations

Initially, streamflow statistics were computed for each 

flow determination site. Flow durations and peak-discharge frequencies were checked at each site for a logical progression of 

flow values. At some determination sites with small drainage 

areas of less than 5 mi2, the quadratic part of the equations for 

the lower (10- and 25-percent) flow durations resulted in flow 

values that decreased with increasing durations. If the drainage 

area resulted in a more negative logarithm, the square of that 

value could dominate the other factors in the equation, and an 

anomalously high value for flow would result. All determination sites were checked for decreasing flow with increasing 

flow duration. Of the few sites that were affected, the higher 

durations (50, 75, and 90 percent) were graphically extrapolated 

to recompute the 10- and 25-percent duration flows.

Next, different interpolation procedures were used to 

refine the estimate of flow durations, mean flow, and peak-discharge frequency values for each stream location depending on 

whether the location had controlled or uncontrolled flow and 

whether or not there was a streamflow-gaging station located 

either upstream or downstream from the location. These interpolation procedures utilize the previously defined drainage-area 

ratio method and multiple linear-regression equations and are 

summarized in table 4. The interpolation procedures outlined in 

table 4 for an ungaged location between two gaged locations 

selects the upstream gage location (if there is more than one) 

that has the largest drainage area. These procedures were 

applied to flow statistics developed for each stream location. 

Flow-duration and mean flow value computations for controlled and uncontrolled flow streamflow-gaging stations used 

in the interpolation of the flow duration and mean flow are 

listed in table 5. Flow durations and mean flows at gages representing controlled stream locations (those with Federal reservoirs upstream) were computed from the controlled period of 

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

for the period 1961 to 2000. Use of the 1961-to-2000 time 

period maintains a degree of consistency for comparison and 

interpolation of flow durations and mean flow between gaging 

stations at controlled locations and is reasonably representative 

of long-term average precipitation. 

Peak-discharge frequency values at controlled and uncontrolled flow streamflow-gaging stations (fig. 2) and used in the 

interpolation of peak-discharge-frequency values are listed in 

table 6. Peak-discharge frequency values at gaging stations representing uncontrolled flow stream locations were from Rasmussen and Perry (2000, see table 5). Peak-discharge-frequency values at gaging stations representing controlled stream 

locations were available from several sources. The U.S. Army 

Corps of Engineers (USCOE), Kansas City District (oral commun., 2003) was used as the primary source of peak-discharge 

frequency values for controlled stream locations. If no frequency values for a particular stream location were available 

from USCOE, then published Federal Emergency Management 

Agency’s Flood Insurance Studies for communities in Kansas 

(Federal Emergency Management Agency, various years) 

served as a secondary source. The third and final source of 

peak-discharge frequency values was a log-Pearson Type-III 

analyses of the controlled period of record. This final source 

was a Bulletin 17B estimate (Interagency Advisory Committee 

on Water Data, 1981) using either the systematic record skew 

values or the regional skew values to generate the estimated 

peak-discharge frequency values. When systematic skew values 

were extremely negative (less than -1.2), the regional skew 

value was used. 

Interpolation Example

Figure 9 shows part of a stream network and some streamflow-gaging stations in central Kansas. The large numbers next 

to the gaging stations are the 50-percent (median) flow-duration 

values observed for those stations. The regression equations 

used are described in the section on “Multiple LinearRegression Analysis.” The smaller numbers are the 50-percent 

flow-duration values estimated from those regression equations. A comparison of the regression-estimated 50-percent 

flow-duration values with the observed gaging-station 50-percent flow-duration values shows substantial “local” differences 

between the estimated and the observed values. 

Figure 10 shows the effect of interpolating the observed 

gaging-station 50-percent (median) flow-duration values with 

the regression-estimated values to develop the best-estimated 

flow for each stream location. The local differences in estimated 

50-percent flow-duration values noted in figure 9 (regression 

estimates) are not as large in figure 10 (estimates derived in this 

report) because of the effect of incorporating local gaging-station data. As a result, the interpolation procedure used in this 

report to develop stream-statistic estimates appears to provide 

more accurate estimates than those that result from using only 

the regression equations.

Estimated Stream Statistics

The interpolation procedure was performed on all the flow 

durations, the mean flow, and all the peak-discharge values for 

all uncontrolled and controlled flow determination sites. The

44 Estimates of Flow Duration, Mean Flow, and Peak-Discharge Frequency Values for Kansas Stream Locations

final streamflow statistics for each determination site for each 

county are listed in tables 7–111 located at the end of this report. 

A map of each county is provided to locate streams of interest 

(figs. 11–115, also at the end of this report). These figures show 

the location of the streamflow-statistics determination sites, the 

determination-site identification number, location of the gaging 

stations used in the interpolation process, and the names of the 

streams. The flow statistics in tables 7–111 are linked to the 

streamflow-statistics determination sites in figures 11–115 by 

the determination-site identification number. Although the 

streamflow-statistics determination sites are located in a unique 

county, the stream segment can occur in as many as four 

different counties. These other counties are included under the 

headings of second, third, and fourth in tables 7–111.

 The uncertainty of each specific streamflow statistic varies depending on the analysis used to determine the estimate for 

that location. The greatest uncertainties exist for streams where 

no gaging-station information was available and only the 

regression estimates were used. For these locations, the uncertainty of the estimate is the model standard error of prediction. 

The uncertainty values are given with the various regression 

equations (tables 2 and 3). Smaller uncertainty values occur at 

determination sites where streamflow-gaging stations are available. At those locations the uncertainty is a function of the 

period of record of the gaging station (sample size) and the type 

and level of flow analysis conducted (90- , 75-, 50-, 25-, 10-percent flow durations, mean flow, or 5-, 10-, 25-, 50-, or 100-year 

flood frequency).

Summary 45

Summary

Streamflow statistics of flow duration and peak-discharge 

frequency were estimated for 4,771 individual locations on 

streams listed on the 1999 Kansas Surface Water Register. 

These statistics included the flow-duration values of 90, 75, 50, 

25, and 10 percent, as well as the mean flow value. Peak-discharge frequency values were estimated for the 2-, 5-, 10-, 25-, 

50-, and 100-year floods.

Least-squares multiple-regression techniques, along with 

Tobit analyses, were used to develop equations for estimating 

flow durations and mean flows (dependent variables) for 

ungaged, uncontrolled flow stream locations. These streamflow 

statistics were determined from streamflow-gaging-station data 

using the entire period of record. Independent variables in the 

regression equations were the climatic and basin characteristics 

for streams flowing through Kansas. In the development of the 

regression equations, the significant climatic and basin characteristics, in order of importance, were contributing-drainage 

area, mean annual precipitation, mean basin permeability, and 

mean basin slope. Only the 149 gaging stations on uncontrolled 

flow streams (Kansas and parts of surrounding States) with at 

least 10 years of streamflow record were used in the regression 

analyses. The contributing-drainage areas of these gages ranged 

from 2.06 to 12,004 mi2

.

A logarithmic transformation of the basin characteristics 

was needed to develop a linear relation for computing flow 

durations and mean flow. Because there were numerous zero 

values for flow durations and mean flow in the gaging-station 

data, the Tobit analysis was used to include those zero values in 

the regression. The resulting regression equations were used 

to estimate flow durations and mean flow for the uncontrolled 

flow stream locations on the 1999 Kansas Surface Water 

Register.

Estimates of peak-discharge frequency for uncontrolled 

flow stream locations in Kansas were obtained using equations 

previously published in U.S. Geological Survey WaterResources Investigations Report 00–4079 (Rasmussen and 

Perry, 2000), “Estimation of Peak Streamflows for Unregulated 

Rural Streams in Kansas.” This report produced two sets of 

equations—one for basins between 0.17 and 30 mi2 and one for 

basins between 30 and 9,100 mi2

. For streams with a basin size 

of between 0.17 and 30 mi2

, peak-discharge frequency values 

were computed from regression equations with contributingdrainage area and average mean annual precipitation for the 

basin as the predictor variables. For streams with basin sizes

46 Estimates of Flow Duration, Mean Flow, and Peak-Discharge Frequency Values for Kansas Stream Locations

between 30 and 9,100 mi2, the predictor variables were contributing-drainage area, average mean annual precipitation, mean 

soil permeability, and the slope of the main channel.

Streamflow-gaging-station data were used to improve the 

quality of the streamflow-statistic estimates along the streams 

that had gages. Streamflow statistics for the locations that had 

uncontrolled flow 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 streamflow-statistic information 

was interpolated between gaging stations by using only gaged 

data weighted by drainage area.
