This is an animation showing the changing conditions relative to the historic record of USGS streamgages from October 1, 2024 - September 30, 2025. The river conditions shown range from the driest condition seen at a gage (red open circles) to the wettest (blue closed circles). A purple outer ring around a gage indicates it is flooding.

Studying Anacostia River Quality with DOEE

The USGS and D.C.’s DOEE have been working together to monitor water quality in the Anacostia, in support of the District's goal of expanding access to the water for local communities. DOEE relies on data and continuous monitoring from USGS to support important decisions about public safety and the accessibility of the area’s natural resources.

The St. Mary and Milk Rivers cross the U.S. and Canadian border and supply water to both countries. Managing that resource in the interest of both nations is a matter of international collaboration and cooperation, and Landsat data is helping offer objective information on water use.

Groundwater is not a single vast pool of underground water; rather, it is contained within a variety of aquifer systems. Each of these aquifers has its own set of questions and challenges.
