Stream habitat assessment along a transect
Stream habitat data is collected along a series of transects marked by tape measure and includes estimating rock size categories (for example, sand, gravel, cobble, boulders) with a guide (shown).

Bank height above water surface assessment
Bank height above the water surface is measured at each transect along a stream reach to estimate the channel and bed substrate as well as the type and size of sediment size that can be transported by the stream.

Lake Trout
Lake trout historically supported the most valuable freshwater commercial fisheries in North America, but their populations crashed in parts of the Great Lakes during the 1950s and 1960s due to overfishing and invasive species.

Edge-of-field: runoff before and after conservation practice install
These photos, taken before and after a grassed-waterway conservation practice was installed, show a change in the water clarity of agricultural runoff at an edge-of-field surface monitoring site in Wisconsin.

Farm in southern Wisconsin
Cows feed on a farm in southern Wisconsin. A new USGS report shows that drought periods followed by rainfall caused nitrate levels to increase to the highest ever measured in some Midwest streams during a 2013 study.
