This recorded webinar demonstrates how to access and use new modeled water data delivered through the National Water Availability Assessment Data Companion (NWDC). The NWDC is a centralized website providing USGS model-derived water availability, supply, and use information that underlies the National Water Availability Assessment Report.

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.

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.
