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.
