    Reference Hydrometric Basin Network (Opens in a new Window)

    The Reference Hydrometric Basin Network (RHBN) is a set of streamgage stations with long records and minimal human impacts that would be appropriate for climate change studies. Where the RHBN is explicitly a network of the best available stations among similar watersheds, a list of RHBN-quality stations with supporting metadata is also available for download.
