This photo was taken at Station 4 in 2009 before the Great Works Dam was removed. This location was just upstream of the dam and water levels are significantly lower now that the dam is removed.

This USGS file photo was taken at a USGS gaging station on the Passadumkeag River at Lowell, Maine (01035000) in 1915. The USGS collected streamflow at this location from 1915 through 1979. The photo shows an unknown hydrographer standing next to a chain gage. The chain gage was used by a local observer to make manual readings of water level.

The growth of aquaculture to raise trout, sturgeon and other cold-water fish has increased withdrawals of critical groundwater in the Ararat Basin of Armenia. The USGS is working with partners, including USAID, to develop scientific tools for water-resource managers to understand and predict consequences of management decisions in Armenia.
