Stormwater Runoff in Rapid City, SD
Stormwater runoff following a May 2008 storm event in the Arrowhead drainage basin in Rapid City, SD. Runoff from this drainage discharges into Rapid Creek. Stormwater runoff from urbanized lands is known to harm surface-water resources by increasing stream velocities, destroying natural habitat, and increasing pollutant loads in the receiving waters.

Crest Gage Measurement of High Flows
Crest gages record high flows. In this case, pieces of cork floating in a tube record the highest level that water reached during a storm event. A technician records the level with a tape measure.

Puyallup River Flood, 2006
In November 2006, the Puyallup River overtopped its banks in several locations, including near USGS streamgage 12096500. Flood waters carried sediment and large wood.

Flood waters erode riverbank
In November 2006, flooding damaged infrastructure alongside several rivers in Western Washington. This photograph shows where Puyallup River eroded parts of the riverbank near USGS streamgage 12092000.

Hydrologic Technician Prepares for High Flow Measurement from a Cableway
High flows and floods affected several Western Washington rivers in November 2006. This photo shows a hydrologic technician preparing to measure the Puyallup River near Orting, WA from a cableway.

Large wood transported by flood waters
November 2006 recorded extensive flooding across Western Washington. High flows transported large amounts of sediment and large wood, as shown in this photograph taken near USGS streamgage 12093500.

Measuring High Flows on the Puyallup River
High flows coursed through rivers in Western Washington in November 2006. USGS Hydrologic Technicians worked hard to measure the streamflow, using a variety of methods including cableway measurements which allow safe transport over high flowing water.
