The Water VideoGage project provides an easy way to see what different quantities of water actually look like, whether it’s water flowing in a stream, or standing water in a lake. VideoGage uses an interactive web-based platform to visually display water quantities, both in terms of water flow and water volume, and allows users to screen results based on desired ranges – by date, by flow rate, or by volume. Users may adjust the minimum and maximum values for their selected range, or leave the range unchanged to see all results. After a range is selected, a map will appear showing the locations of videos that meet the selected criteria. By clicking on the point, a list of selectable videos will appear. Search criteria can be changed at any time, and by experimenting with the values, users can take a virtual water tour of the State, and get a better sense for what different volumes and flow rates actually look like.

water 101
Q:
How is water measured?
A:
The volume of standing water in reservoirs and lakes is commonly measured in the U.S. in acre-foot (af). Flowing water is commonly measured using cubic feet per second (cfs).

Q:
What is a cubic foot?
A:
A cubic foot per second is a flow rate equivalent to one cubic feet passing a given point within one second. One cubic foot is equal to the volume of a cube of water with each side one foot in length.

Q:
What is an acre-foot?
A:
An acre foot is a volume of water equivalent to one acre covered in one foot of water. One acre is a little smaller than the size of a football field, or 43,560 square feet.
