April 2022 Streamflow Conditions
A cartogram map of the US with proportional area charts for each state showing the proportion of streamgages by flow level. Streamflow levels are shown as percentiles of the historic daily record at each gage, and binned to reflect whether flow conditions are wetter or drier than the historical record.

A map of the contiguous U.S. using a snowflake hex pattern to show snow persistence over a 20-year period. Snow persistence is measured as the snow cover index, or the average fraction of time snow was on the ground from Jan 1 to. July 3 from 2001-2020.

A tile map of the US showing streamgages by flow levels through the month of September. For each state, an area chart shows the proportion of streamgages in wet, normal, or dry conditions. Streamflow conditions are quantified using percentiles comparing the past month’s slow levels to the historic daily record for each streamgage.

A time series of streamflow drought events occurring across 122 stream gages in the Upper Colorado River basin for 2020 through October 1, 2021. At the beginning of 2020 few gages were in drought status, but as the 2020 summer proceeded there was a surge in drought conditions continuing through the end of 2021.
