Attributes for MRB_E2RF1 Catchments in Selected Major River Basins of the Conterminous United States: Contact Time, 2002
This tabular data set represents the average contact time, in units of days, compiled for every
MRB_E2RF1 catchment of Major River Basins (MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006). Contact time,
as described in Vitvar and others (2002), is defined as the baseflow residence time in the subsurface.
The source data set was the U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) 1-kilometer grid for the conterminous
United States (D.M. Wolock, U.S. Geological Survey, written commun., 2008).
The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the U.S. Environmental Protection
Agency's (USEPA) RF1_2 and include enhancements to support national and regional-scale
surface-water quality modeling (Nolan and others, 2002; Brakebill and others, 2011).
Data were compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment for the conterminous United States covering
New England and Mid-Atlantic (MRB1), South Atlantic-Gulf and Tennessee (MRB2), the Great Lakes,
Ohio, Upper Mississippi, and Souris-Red-Rainy (MRB3), the Missouri (MRB4), the Lower Mississippi,
Arkansas-White-Red, and Texas-Gulf (MRB5), the Rio Grande, Colorado, and the Great basin (MRB6),
the Pacific Northwest (MRB7) river basins, and California (MRB8).
