Primary decision
Is hydrologic stress building locally, and what is driving it?
Read hydrologic shifts quickly across rivers, rainfall, and coastal conditions.
Read streamflow, tide, and rainfall together. The interface is best for directional interpretation and situational awareness, not for replacing watershed-specific engineering models.
