This page will provide a broad look at the data available for the Colorado River Basin. Here are some sample categories of topics that should be covered. This list is not intended to be inclusive, nor is the current organization set. At this time it is not clear if streamflow, for example, is the highest order, with paleo, historic, and future subcategories, or to divide first by time period, and then by type of data. Both organizations could be provided, potentially, with the 'atomic' data the same, just presented in two, or more, ways.

Reclamation

Reclamation maintains a set of monthly natural (unimpaired by humans) flow data at 29 locations. In addition to other purposes, this data is used by Reclamation's CRSS Model.

It is available in a spreadsheet with monthly, annual, intervening, and total flows.
