Watershed areas (km2) were determined in a geographic information system using linework derived from the Watershed Boundary Dataset (US Department of Agriculture‐Natural Resources Conservation Service et al., 2009) and percentage major land cover classifications were based on the 2016 National Land Cover Database (Homer et al., 2020). Mean daily discharge (m3 s–1) summarized for water year 2016 (USGS, 2020).
