Monthly Discharge Data for World Rivers (except former Soviet Union)
This dataset contains monthly river discharge rates for 3376 locations around the world except for the former Soviet Union. This dataset consists of the UNESCO set (ds552.0) plus 2407 guages, thus, improving spatial coverage over much of the world with major gains in Brazil, Australia and Argentina. The "new" guages have not been subjected to the rigorous comparisons of the benchmark UNESCO portion. The "new" guages locations, names, and drainage basin have been edited; and obvious (e.g., formatting) errors removed from flow rates. Documentation describes the data sources and the edits.

Hydrology Resarch Group at the University of
New Hampshire. The USGS offers a CD-ROM (a superset of ds550.1),
"Hydro-Climatic Data Network: Streamflow Data Set, 1874-1988".
This consists of streamflow data measured at 1659 sites throughout
the US and its territories. Daily mean, monthly mean, annual mean, minimum and maximum
values of discharge are given for each water year.
Stations selected distinguish human influences. For

Russian River Flow Data by Bodo, Enhanced
Monthly River flow rates for Russia and former Soviet Union countries is ds553.1 augmented with data from Russia's State Hydrological Institute (SHI). This compendium prepared by Byron Bodo (bodo@mail.connection.com) July 2000 includes 2449 guages spanning the entire former soviet union and all major river and oceanographic basins. Records are generally long: mean length is 36.3 yrs and 1,718 (70%) gauges have 25 or more years of data. 1,368 gauges have data to 1985 and another 909 gauges also have some data from 1986-1995. 636 gauges represent watersheds of 10,000 or more sq km, and 1,048 gauges represent catchments of 1,000-9,999 sq km. The SHI additions have not been scrutinized as rigorously as ds553.1.
