This is an animation showing the changing conditions relative to the historic record of USGS streamgages from April 1, 2024 to June 30, 2024. The river conditions shown range from the driest condition seen at a gage (red open circles) to the wettest (blue closed circles). A purple outer ring around a gage indicates it is flooding.

The USGS is home to many kinds of scientists studying the earth’s hydrology, topography, geography, geology, seismology, volcanology, and more.
In this video, we show you what a day is like for scientists studying a stream’s habitability.

The Water Data for the Nation (WDFN) team updated the public and other stakeholders on changes to USGS water quality and samples data access. Legacy access to water-quality and samples data are being retired, and new WDFN pages and features will provide access to discrete water quality and sample data.

The St. Mary and Milk Rivers cross the U.S. and Canadian border and supply water to both countries. Managing that resource in the interest of both nations is a matter of international collaboration and cooperation, and Landsat data is helping offer objective information on water use.

Groundwater is not a single vast pool of underground water; rather, it is contained within a variety of aquifer systems. Each of these aquifers has its own set of questions and challenges.
