Floods, Droughts, and other Hazards
The NVWSC has been collecting streamflow data in Nevada for more than 100 years. This data is critical for our partners, like the National Weather Service, and services like the National Drought Monitor, for flood and drought predictions, forecasts, and warnings. The data we collect also are used in scientific models that study future flood and drought scenarios. The USGS WaterWatch service provides several tools for droughts and floods:
Drought: Below normal streamflow map || Streamflow Duration Hydrograph Builder || Cumulative Streamflow Hydrograph Builder
Floods: Flood and high flow condition map || Flood Tracking Chart || Cumulative Streamflow Hydrograph Builder
