Our Idaho Falls Field Office hydrographers have been putting in the hours and the miles to document the high flows on many eastern #Idaho rivers and streams, including at one of our newest streamgages on the Portneuf River near Chesterfield, #Idaho : waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-loc….

A new publication from the USGS identifies current #microplastic science gaps and prioritizes research relevant to the mission, expertise, and capabilities of the #USGS . #Boise -based research hydrologist Austin Baldwin is a co-author. doi.org/10.3133/cir1521

Rain on snow over the weekend led Bureau of Reclamation to release water from Ririe Dam to make room in the reservoir. This was the scene at our Willow Creek near Ririe, #Idaho , streamgage where the water was nearly up to our bank-operated cableway. Latest data: waterdata.usgs.gov/monitoring-loc…. #USGS
