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
