Sediment Movement During High Flow
Water is a major way that sediment is transported from one area to another.
Total Sediment Load
Total Sediment Load
Total sediment load is the amount of sediment transported by a waterway past a given point over a given amount of time. Total sediment load has two components: suspended sediment and bedload.

Everglades Restoration Goals
This video covers the history of the South Florida ecosystem, from the early drainage projects in the 1880s up through current restoration projects designed to reverse the major unintended impacts to this unique ecosystem. All major restoration projects and proposed future projects are covered.

Chesapeake Bay Status and Trends (AD)
The Chesapeake Bay is one of the Nation's largest ecosystem restoration efforts, so monitoring to assess changes in condition is crucial. The USGS is monitoring the status and trends of key indicators for the health of streams and rivers in the Chesapeake Bay watershed.

USGS Extensometer Drilling in Virginia
Along the Atlantic Coast, a 2000+ ft deep hole has been drilled by the USGS to assess the issues of groundwater pumping, relative sea-level rise, and land subsidence. This video shows the drilling of the first extensometer to measure land subsidence in the North Atlantic Coastal Plain in 30+ years.
