USGS Flood Monitoring: Eastern Minnesota
USGS water data expert Garret Welsh measures water flow in the pouring rain at the Straight River near Faribault, Minnesota. This measurement recorded the 6th highest flow in the station's 59-year history, highlighting the severity of current flood conditions. Such data is crucial for emergency managers and forecasters to protect communities at risk.

Monitoring Stormwater and Green Infrastructure (Gary City Hall, Ind.)
This time-lapse video shows the construction of the new Gary City Hall parking lot and rain garden in Gary, Indiana. The City of Gary is utilizing green infrastructure in their redevelopment projects in the hopes of reducing the amount stormwater runoff that enters their storm-sewer system and, eventually, Lake Michigan.

Edge-of-Field Monitoring Using Depth-Integrated Sample Arm (DISA)
During edge-of-field monitoring of an agricultural field runoff event, a depth-integrated sample arm (DISA) is used to take a water sample at the same time a traditional water sample is taken from an intake located at the bottom of the H-flume exit, where the water is assumed to be completely mixed.
