Daily Streamflow and Sediment Data for the Middle Huai River, 1980-2023

1980-2023 daily average streamflow and sediment data from nine hydrological stations in the middle reach of China's Huai River, sourced from the Huai River Water Resources Commission and the China River Sediment Bulletin. The dataset was authored by Ming Luo and posted on figshare in May 2026. It includes data from key control stations like Xixian and Wujiadu, with some minor gaps filled using 5-year historical averages.

Use Cases

• Modeling long-term sediment transport dynamics based on daily sediment load data.
• Analyzing streamflow variability and trends over a 44-year period.
• Studying the impact of upstream reservoirs on sediment trapping, as noted at Hengpaitou station.
• Calibrating hydrological models using data from primary control sections like the Wujiadu station.

Strengths

• Covers a 44-year time series from 1980 to 2023.
• Includes data from nine representative hydrological stations.
• Minor data gaps were filled using 5-year historical averages, as described.
• Sourced from authoritative bodies: the Huai River Water Resources Commission and the China River Sediment Bulletin.

Limitations

• The dataset is very small at 20.9 KB, indicating limited scope or aggregation.
• Row count and specific column definitions are unknown, requiring inspection after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
