Ala-Archa River is a glacier-fed river that flows though Ala-Archa National Park in the Chuy Region of the Kyrgyz Republic. This river is typical of many glacier and snow melt-fed rivers in the Kyrgyz Republic. Analysis of remote sensed data will provide insight to the extent of glaciers and snow cover that contribute to river flow.

USGS staff demonstrate how to conduct a borehole camera survey in a monitoring well for visiting researchers from the Ministry of Water Resources and Irrigation of the Republic of Kazakhstan. Borehole camera surveys provide valuable insight into conditions within the well such as fouling of the screen and leaky casing joints.
