USGS peak-flow data is one of the most important datasets used to assess flood risk in the United States. This presentation will discuss tools for visualizing USGS peak-flow data and indirect discharge measurements to improve accessibility of USGS flood data. These tools can be used to easily find what USGS peak-flow data are available in an area to inform operations during and after floods events and identify data for use in flood frequency studies.
