Droughts

The USGS New Jersey Water Science Center streamgage program is part of the nationwide program that provides streamflow information for a variety of purposes—including the protection of life and property, infrastructure design, recreational usage, and long-term trend assessment. This information is critical to resource managers, farmers, fishermen, kayakers, land-use planners, engineers...

Conditions of moisture deficit sufficient to have an adverse effect on streamflow, groundwater levels, vegetation, animals, and man over a sizeable area.

The NJDEP is conducting a Water Supply Assessment of Northeast NJ and would like the District to help in that assessment, provide modeling tools to project flows, and provide technical assistance. The goals of this project are associated with water supply within the region.
