Surface flow data in the US is crucial for managing our water resources sustainably. Thousands of streamgages across the nation provide vital insight for understanding hydrological patterns, forecasting floods and droughts, and guiding water management decisions. But what is a streamgage exactly?
The Oceanic Niño Index (ONI) is a rolling 3-month average temperature anomaly, and used for tracking El Niño-Southern Oscillation climate patterns. Based on the latest data for the last 3 months (JFM), the Oceanic Nino Index is currently 1.5, signifying a strong El Nino period. A persistent above average sea surface temperature may signify an El Niño episode. Conversely, a below average sea surface temperature will signal the onset of La Nina occurences.

The consequences of floods are far-reaching and can be devastating. Property damage, destruction of critical infrastructure, disruption of transportation networks, and loss of human life are all significant impacts of flooding events. Communities may experience prolonged displacement, economic hardships, and increased vulnerability to subsequent disasters.

Some notable tributaries with traditionally high stream flow include the mighty Mississippi, the iconic Colorado, and the scenic Columbia. In addition, there are numerous reservoirs and dams across the country that play a pivotal role in water storage and distribution. Understanding surface flow data is critical for ensuring water security and supporting sustainable development.
