It shows the approximate locations of 179 streamflow gauges maintained by the United States Geological Survey (USGS) in Indiana. The gauges are part of a real-time national streamflow network. Purpose: The layer was created to provide locations of streamflow gauges in Indiana. The point attributes contain a link field allowing users to link from this layer to real-time streamflow data for each individual gauging station. Supplemental_Information: Locations were acquired by IGS personnel from the USGS Real-Time Water Data for Indiana Web site (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/in/nwis/rt).

Values in the "URL_Link" field were created using the Field Calculator tool in ArcMap. No manual data entry was performed. Attributes are as accurate as the data provided by USGS. Logical_Consistency_Report: No checks for logical consistency were made. Completeness_Report: This layer includes one point for each streamflow gauging station maintained by the USGS in Indiana as of June 2008, as per the USGS Web site (http://waterdata.usgs.gov/in/nwis/rt). Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy: Horizontal_Positional_Accuracy_Report: A spot check of several gauging station locations against the 2005 color orthophotography data set for Indiana indicated that most points are within 50 feet of the actual gauge locations. Vertical_Positional_Accuracy: Vertical_Positional_Accuracy_Report: The vertical positional accuracy was not a factor in the production of this shapefile.

These data were copied to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet and saved as IN_Gauging_Stations.xls. This table was then imported into ESRI ArcMap as an "event layer" using the Tools > Add XY data menu. It was then exported as a shapefile (in UTM NAD83 Zone 16 North coordinates) named STREAMFLOW_GAUGING_STATIONS_USGS_IN.shp. IGS personnel then used the Field Calculator in ArcMap to build the values for the "URL_Link" field.
