Field notes
The homepage divides its coverage into 785 lakes and reservoirs and 407 rivers, and offers map and state-browsing links. Comparisons use locally relevant reference points—such as summer pool, power pool, or normal flow for the date—rather than treating every water body as if it shared one standard. The site names USGS, the Army Corps of Engineers, TVA, Reclamation, and dam operators among its sources.
