Streams, rivers, lakes and reservoirs are important natural resources for irrigation, public supply, wetlands and wildlife. Excess precipitation that flows into these sources is called runoff, and it's an important drought indicator. The California Water Science Center tracks both monthly and annual runoff.

The Sea Otter Survey Data Visualization Tool was developed by the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) to facilitate visualizing and downloading sea otter population survey data in an interactive mapping application.
