| Alaska Stream and River Levels |
The United States Geological Survey has a number of stream gages located throughout Alaska. These estimate stream levels, discharges and record them over time. This data is published on the web and many stations allow users to plot custom graphs. Get updated Alaska river and stream levels from USGS here.
| Alaska Stream and River Level Alerts |
The United States Geological Survey has a system that will send you an email message when flood levels are reached on any stream with USGS gaging equipment that you have selected. Sign up here to receive Alaska stream and river level alerts.

| Alaska Waterfall: Brooks Falls |
Brooks Falls is located in Katmai National Park and Preserve, between Brooks Lake and Naknek Lake. This waterfall is a famous destination for wildlife photographers. Every year, salmon have to leap up Brooks Falls to reach their spawning ground at Brooks Lake. Because of this, the waterfall has become a seasonal hangout for hungry bears (and brave photographers).

| Alaska Drought Map |
The United States Geological Survey publishes updated drought maps on their website. There you can view a map that shows where below normal 7-day average stream flow conditions were recently recorded. The maps are updated daily. Get a current Alaska drought map here.
