The 20 plus years of research conducted during the life of the Beaver Creek watershed project resulted in a large collection of physiographic, climatic, streamflow, floral, and faunal data with inconsistent (both spacial and temporal) formats. This information has been difficult to retrieve by those familiar with the project, let alone someone not familiar with it. Fortunately, computers have greatly facilitated access to large and varied databases, and the World Wide Web has further advanced our ability to assess and disseminate such data.

These data include:

• Precipitation
  • Daily
  • Watershed average daily, monthly, seasonal, and annual totals
  • Storm events
  • Precipitation nutrient data
  • More about precipitation data...
• Weather
  • Air temperature and humidity
    • Daily maximum, minimum, and average
    • Monthly and annual average
  • Wind and snowfall
  • More about weather data...
• Stream
  • Annual Streamflow
  • Daily Streamflow
  • CFS
  • Events
  • Peak Annual Discharge
  • Sediment Flow
  • Streamflow Nutrients
  • More about stream data...
• Herbage and timber production

Data sets from Beaver Creek are organized to reflect the components of a water budget; that is, precipitation inputs (quantity and quality) minus streamflow outputs (quantity and quality) equals evapotranspiration (as modified by geology, soil, elevation, and vegetation). Although current scientific publications use metric units, the information in these databases are expressed in English units because that was the system used in collecting the data. Computers allow rapid conversion to other units of measure if desired.
