Description:
This exercise from SERC's Starting Point utilizes the national network of stream gage data provided by the USGS Water Resources Division as an online Geographic Information System (GIS). Students use real-time stream flow data to interpret recent regional-scale climate events based on current stream flow data, monitor changes in time, and consider additional interpretations that could be derived if other data were in map form. This exercise may be used to consider regional-scale conceptual problems in tandem with the traditional hydrology exercises.
