EGRET 
Exploration and Graphics for RivEr Trends (EGRET): An R-package for
the analysis of long-term changes in water quality and streamflow,
including the water-quality method Weighted Regressions on Time,
Discharge, and Season (WRTDS).

A companion package EGRETci
implements a set of approaches to the analysis of uncertainty associated
with WRTDS trend analysis.

Recent introduction to WRTDS and the EGRET package at the 12th
National Monitoring Conference April 19, 2021:
Package Installation
To install the EGRET package, you must be using R 3.0 or greater and run
the following command:
install.packages("EGRET")
Background:
Evaluating long-term changes in river conditions (water quality and
discharge) is an important use of hydrologic data. To carry out such
evaluations, the hydrologist needs tools to facilitate several key steps
in the process: acquiring the data records from a variety of sources,
structuring it in ways that facilitate the analysis, routines that will
process the data to extract information about changes that may be
happening, and graphical techniques that can display findings about
change. The R package EGRET (Exploration and Graphics for RivEr
Trends) was developed for carrying out each of these steps in an
integrated manner. It is designed to accept easily data from three
sources: U.S. Geological Survey hydrologic data, Water Quality Portal
Data (currently including U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)
STORET data, and USDA STEWARDS data), and user-supplied flat files. The
EGRET package has components oriented towards the description of
long-term changes in streamflow statistics (high flow, average flow, and
low flow) as well as changes in water quality. For the water-quality
analysis, it uses Weighted Regressions on Time, Discharge and Season
(WRTDS) to describe long-term trends in both concentration and flux.
EGRET also creates a wide range of graphical presentations of the
water-quality data and of the WRTDS results. The following report serves
as a user guide, providing detailed guidance on installation and use of
the software, documentation of the analysis methods used, as well as
guidance on some of the kinds of questions and approaches that the
software can facilitate.
EGRET includes statistics and graphics for streamflow history, water
quality trends, and the statistical modeling algorithm Weighted
Regressions on Time, Discharge, and Season (WRTDS). Please see the
official EGRET User Guide for more information on the EGRET package:
https://doi.org/10.3133/tm4A10
For a thorough discussion of the generalized flow normalization method
implemented in the EGRET enhancements, see the paper: “Tracking changes
in nutrient delivery to western Lake Erie: Approaches to compensate for
variability and trends in streamflow”:
(https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0380133018302235).

Model Archive
When using the WRTDS model, it is important to be able to reproduce
the results in the future. The following version of R and package
dependencies were used most recently to pass the embedded tests within
this package. There is no guarantee of reproducible results using future
versions of R or updated versions of package dependencies; however, we
will make diligent efforts to test and update future modeling
environments.

Package Support
The Water Mission Area of the USGS has supported the development and
maintenance of the EGRET R-package. Further maintenance is expected to
be stable through October 2024. Resources are available primarily for
maintenance and responding to user questions. Priorities on the
development of new features are determined by the EGRET development
team.
Sunset date
Funding for EGRET currently expires fall 2024. Expectations are that
maintenance and customer service will continue to be supported past that
date.

in the process: acquiring the data records from a variety of sources,
structuring it in ways that facilitate the analysis, routines that will

(WRTDS) to describe long-term trends in both concentration and flux.
EGRET also creates a wide range of graphical presentations of the

as a user guide, providing detailed guidance on installation and use of
the software, documentation of the analysis methods used, as well as
guidance on some of the kinds of questions and approaches that the

Sample workflow for a flowHistory application for the entire record
library(EGRET)
# Flow history analysis
# Gather discharge data:
siteID <- "01491000" #Choptank River at Greensboro, MD
startDate <- "" # Get earliest date
endDate <- "" # Get latest date
Daily <- readNWISDaily(siteID, "00060", startDate, endDate)
#> There are 27501 data points, and 27501 days.
# Gather site and parameter information:
# Here user must input some values for
# the default (interactive=TRUE)
INFO <- readNWISInfo(siteID, "00060")
#> Your site for streamflow data is:
#> 01491000 .
#> Your site name is CHOPTANK RIVER NEAR GREENSBORO, MD
#> but you can modify this to a short name in a style you prefer.
#> This name will be used to label graphs and tables.
#> If you want the program to use the name given above, just do a carriage return,
#> otherwise enter the preferred short name(no quotes):
#>
#> The latitude and longitude of the site are: 38.99719 , -75.78581 (degrees north and west).
#>
#> The drainage area at this site is 113 square miles
#> which is being stored as 292.6687 square kilometers.
#>
#> It is helpful to set up a station abbreviation when doing multi-site studies,
#> enter a unique id (three or four characters should work). It is case sensitive.
#> Even if you don't feel you need an abbreviation for your site you need to enter something(no quotes):
#>
#> Your water quality data are for parameter number:
#> 00060
#> which has the name:' Discharge, cubic feet per second '.
#> Typically you will want a shorter name to be used in graphs and tables.
#> The suggested short name is:' Stream flow, mean. daily '.
#> If you would like to change the short name, enter it here,
#> otherwise just hit enter (no quotes):
#> The units for the water quality data are: ft3/s .
#> It is helpful to set up a constiuent abbreviation, enter a unique id
#> three or four characters should work something like tn or tp or NO3).
#> Even if you don't feel you need an abbreviation you need to enter something (no quotes):
#>
#> Required concentration units are mg/l.
#> The INFO dataframe indicates: ft3/s
#> Flux calculations will be wrong if units are not consistent.

Model Archive
When using the WRTDS model, it is important to be able to reproduce
the results in the future. The following version of R and package
dependencies were used most recently to pass the embedded tests within
this package. There is no guarantee of reproducible results using future
versions of R or updated versions of package dependencies; however, we
will make diligent efforts to test and update future modeling
environments.

Code of Conduct
We want to encourage a warm, welcoming, and safe environment for contributing to this project. See the code of conduct for more information.
Package Support
The Water Mission Area of the USGS has supported the development and
maintenance of the EGRET R-package. Further maintenance is expected to
be stable through October 2024. Resources are available primarily for
maintenance and responding to user questions. Priorities on the
development of new features are determined by the EGRET development
team.
Sunset date
Funding for EGRET currently expires fall 2024. Expectations are that
maintenance and customer service will continue to be supported past that
date.
