Description

Rainfall thresholds for runoff development along 46 ephemeral streams and an unpaved road in St. John, US Virgin Islands.

Data is for unroaded areas (UN), road-influenced streams (RI) and a road segment (RD). 

Data collected from August 2013 through July 2015.

The dependent variable is the absence/presence of runoff determined with peak crest gauges. The column labeled as 'response' indicates when runoff occurred (response = 1) and when runoff was not observed (response = 0). Each entry represents an individual storm event for a specific crest gauge.

Rain-related independent variables contain total storm precipitation, maximum 15-min rain intensity, and an antecedent precipitation index. 

Other independent variables are road surface area in m^2 and flow distance in meters both for RI sites
