This package contains data sets and code used to obtain the results in Ombadi, M., & Varadharajan, C. (2022). Urbanization and aridity mediate distinct salinity response to floods in rivers and streams across the Contiguous United States. Water Research, 118664. The folder "data" contains 259 .csv files, each of which has daily time series of concurrent streamflow (Q) and specific conductance (SC) for each of the sites used in this study originally downloaded from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS; USGS, 2016). The number of data points in each of the files is at least 3650 (i.e. 10 years of daily measurements). The folder "RF_single_data" contains 259 .csv files, each of which include data used to train and test the Random Forest models at individual sites for predicting SC during days of floods. The folder "RF_regional_data" contains 3 .csv files, each of which include scaled data compiled from all sites within each climate zone (arid, temperate and wet). "metadata.csv" contains the physical properties of the 259 catchments corresponding to the sites used in this study; this data was extracted from GAGES-II dataset (Falcone et al., 2010). "RF_implementation.ipynb" is a Jupyter notebook with the code needed to implement the analysis using Random Forest models either for individual sites or for the regional models (for each climate zone). The code utilizes the data in the two folders: "RF_single_data" and "RF_regional_data" and the metadata.csv file.
