A motion-stabilized UAS-derived average two-dimensional surface velocity field result for the Androscoggin River, Auburn, Maine on May 1, 2019. Yellow arrows depict relative surface velocity magnitudes and directions. Red "X"s depict areas excluded from analysis (ground). UAS data were collected as part of the 2019 Airshow breakthrough demonstration of river discharge

Flooding at Vekol Wash today, south of Phoenix, following remnant rains from Hurricane Rosa. 

High-water marks provide valuable data for understanding recent and historical flood events. The proper collection and recording of high-water mark data from perishable and preserved evidence informs flood assessments, research, and water resource management. This video provides guidance for skilled high-water mark identification, including marks left behind in natural and

The USGS is developing methods to improve data collection during floods to gain new insight into the rise and fall of flood waters. In the past, the only data left behind after a flood was how high the water got, or the peak of the flood. This video presents the methodology that hydrologists are using to set up a Continuous Slope-area Reach in remote areas that are

In this second installment of a two part series, The Arizona Water Science Center, in partnership with the USDA Agricultural Research Service, reviews the results of an experiment to verify remote methods that measure flood flows at the Walnut Gulch Experimental Watershed. What makes this experiment unique are the super-critical runoff flumes that precisely measure
