What is Fluvial Geomorphology?

Policy Report

Fluvial Assesment

Stream Crossings

  • Water, sediment and debris: How, why and where culverts fail, and what happens then
  • The multiple benefits of upgraded stream crossing infrastructure
  • Culverts, bridges and other stream crossings: Where are they in the landscape, and what kinds are there?

Streamflow, Flood Stages

  • USGS Flood-Inundation Mapper website: a set of maps that shows where flooding may occur over a range of water levels in the community’s local stream or river. There are three interactive maps done in the Deerfield River watershed. Zoom in where you see a green triangle on the map.
  • Flood prediction, information and safety (NOAA)
  • Real-time streamflow and flood stages (USGS)
  • USGS Current Water Data for the Nation: Daily Streamflow Conditions: Colored dots indicate real-time stream flow and gauge height conditions as a percentile at gauge stations for the current date. Only gauge stations with greater than 30 years of record are included. Interactive map allows the user to go to a particular state and stream gauge.
  • USGS Water Alert: Users can subscribe to receive alerts via email or text message to mobile devices for user-selected gauge stations. Subscribers can specify discharge levels and/or gauge heights to trigger an alert. Alerts are based on real-time data transmitted from gauge stations approximately one to four times per hour. Links to the Water Alert subscription form are provided on individual gauge site pages.
