Green River Near Auburn, WA
USGS monitors streamflow and sediment at the Green River Near Auburn, WA. In December 2025, a storm event raised water levels and increased the turbidity (muddiness) of the river.

Sediment sampling at Big Soos Creek, WA
A hand-held sampler is used to collect suspended sediment concentration (SSC) data from Big Soos Creek, WA. SSC data helps USGS scientists understand sediment dynamics in rivers.

White Salmon River Riverine Dune Formation/Destruction
White Salmon River Riverine Dune Formation/DestructionFollowing the Condit Dam removal, a significant amount of bedload sediment was transported downstream. As the material moved along the river bottom, dunes began to form then collapse. This dune formation is seen through the waveform action as the stream's normal laminar flow is replaced by whitecap wave forms before returning, once again, to laminar flow.
