August 2022 Streamflow
A cartogram map of the US with proportional area charts for each state showing the proportion of streamgages by flow levels, categorized using percentile bins. Streamflow level percentiles are calculated using the historic daily record for each gage, and binned to reflect whether flow conditions are wetter or drier than the historical record.

Virginia Extensometer Network
This static map shows the locations of the three existing extensometers (red) in the USGS' Virginia Extensometer Network with the location of a fourth future extensometer (green). The basemap is of the Virginia Coastal Plain and shows the severity of groundwater depletion, with darker blue indicating greater groundwater depletion.

June 2022 USGS Active Groundwater Level Network Animation
The USGS Active Groundwater Level Network includes about 20,000 wells that have been measured by the USGS or USGS cooperators at least once within the past 13 months. The animation shows snapshots of water-level statistics in the network during June 2022.

USGS scientists test new method for microplastics analysis
USGS hydrologists and hydrologic technicians test a new method for collecting water from the Millstone River in Blackwells Mills, New Jersey. The new method helps measure microplastics concentrations using representative cross-section sampling. In the background, USGS staff maneuver a stainless-steel pump and tubing at pre-determined points along the river.

Salty: Did you know? Evaporation
Hi, I'm Salty, Drippy's saline counterpart! Did you know that one way to produce table salt is to evaporate saline water in evaporation ponds, a technique used by people for thousands of years?
