Drought preparedness in Mt. Rainier National Park
Small streams are an important source of water in Mount Rainier National Park. Some streams run year-round, while others go dry during the late summer. The USGS used crowd-sourced data to develop a localized model of Mount Rainier streams. The model provides predictions of whether streams are likely to flow year-round, helping park managers plan for a sustainable water supply.
