Carson River Basin Hydro Mapper
The Carson River Basin Hydro Mapper web application provides a modern and easy-to-use interface with the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS). It is also a one-stop location for visually descriptive summaries of USGS, SNOTEL, National Weather Service, Advanced Hydrologic Prediction Service, and other local and regional hydrologic data with access

Surveying High-Water Marks and Cross-Sections for Indirects
This video describes how to survey high-water marks and cross-sections for indirect measurements. Included are tips and tricks for getting across non-wadeable sections of the stream.

Selection of Roughness Coefficients
This video describes the field selection of roughness coefficients, or Manning's "n" values. Both the comparative (photos) and analytical (Cowan's) methods are discussed.
