Dataset Details

Overview

This dataset contains files associated with the Surface Water Supply Index (SWSI) analysis, which estimates water supply conditions for river basins. The files are generated using the SWSI Model using TSTool software.

This dataset is for SWSI analysis 2023-05.

Downloads

The following files can be downloaded or used directly by specifying the URL to software.

Files are grouped into product categories.
Within each category, files are organized by Hydrologic Unit Code (HUC8) identifier, or major basin name.

SWSI Products (Summary)

The summary contains SWSI values for each major river basin and HUC8 basins:

all products are for HUC8 basins except for the Major River Basins product

SWSI Products - Major River Basins (Details)

SWSI products are available in different formats for each major river basin:

images can be displayed from a link, for example link to the image from a river basin map
the SWSI workbook is formatted to facilitate review
the time series files organize data in linear fashion over the data period
use the BasinName-DataComposite-SWSI column to display the overall SWSI value (where BasinName must be replaced with the specific basin name)

Workflow

See the owf-model-swsi GitHub repository for information.

Update Frequency and Versions

The dataset is typically updated each month with the model being run in the first few days after the start of the month. A separate dataset folder is available for each month, consisting of many files for each month.

Credits

The original Excel spreadsheet-based model was created by the Natural Resources Conservation Service.
The Open Water Foundation subsequently created an automated tool based on TSTool software, which is used by the Colorado Division of Water Resource.
The latest iteration is a general tool that is being implemented for the Babbitt Center for Land and Water Policy in order to provide hydrologic water supply indicators.
