This 26x38-inch poster, released in 2022, depicts the global water cycle. It shows how human water use affects where water is stored, how it moves, and how clean it is. This diagram is available in English and Spanish.

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. For the month of April, most central and eastern states had high flow conditions for the entire...

September 2022 Streamflow
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.

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.

Streamflow Drought Duration 2020 & 2021
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.

When are U.S. Rivers Wet or Dry?
When are U.S. rivers wet or dry? This circular area chart displays the total flow rate in million cubic feet per second throughout a year. Total flow is derived from 1,865 USGS NWIS gages with near complete data for 1951-2020.
