As generalized in this image, a gravity measurement is sensitive to a cone-shaped region of the subsurface—as depth increases, the sensitivity to individual water molecules decreases, but the region of sensitivity expands.

This video is an introduction to the partnership between the USGS Arizona Water Science Center and the Arizona Department of Transportation, or ADOT, as it is referred to throughout the video. These two agencies are working together, using cutting edge technology and methods, to understand how flood flows interact with and impact critical infrastructure.

High-water marks provide valuable data for understanding recent and historical flood events. The proper collection and recording of high-water mark data from perishable and preserved evidence informs flood assessments, research, and water resource management.
