      <abstract>This tabular data set represents the mean value for infiltration-excess overland flow as estimated by the 
watershed model TOPMODEL, compiled for every MRB_E2RF1 catchment of the Major River Basins 
(MRBs, Crawford and others, 2006). The source data set is Infiltration-Excess Overland Flow Estimated 
by TOPMODEL for the Conterminous United States (Wolock, 2003).
		
The MRB_E2RF1 catchments are based on a modified version of the U.S. Environmental Protection 
Agency's (USEPA) ERF1_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).</abstract>
      <purpose>This tabular data set was created and used by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) 
specifically to estimate mean infiltration-excess overland flow per watershed segment in the application 
of the national SPAtially Referenced Regression On Watershed attributes (SPARROW) model . The 
SPARROW model relates in-stream water-quality measurements to spatially referenced characteristics 
of watersheds, including contaminant sources and factors influencing terrestrial and stream transport. 
The model empirically estimates the origin and fate of contaminants in streams, and quantifies 
uncertainties in these estimates based on model coefficient error and unexplained variability in the 
observed data. For more information on the USGS SPARROW model please refer to: 
https://water.usgs.gov/nawqa/sparrow/intro/intro.html.</purpose>
