Drinking-water quality and potential exposures to per- and poly-fluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) at the point-of-use (tapwater) are a rising concern in the United States (US).

CreelCat is a database and tool for inland fisheries management and research. State natural resource agencies endeavor to provide high-quality and sustainable fishing opportunities for anglers. Managers often use creel and other angler survey data to inform management efforts. CreelCat aims to provide managers and decision-makers with tools to aid the management of recreational fisheries

The Dixie fire burned steep hillslopes in the northern Sierra Nevada California during the summer of 2021. The burn area was impacted by two significant storms in October 2021 and June 2022. These storm events resulted in very different types of rainfall and very different postfire flow events. This story map uses maps, photos, and rainfall data to highlight the storms and their impacts.
