<p>The NRCS National Water and Climate Center's Interactive Map displays both current and historic hydrometeorological data in an easy-to-use, visual interface. The information on the map comes from many sources. Natural Resources Conservation Service snowpack and precipitation data are derived from manually-collected snow courses and automated Snow Telemetry (SNOTEL) and Soil Climate Analysis Network (SCAN) stations. Other data sources include precipitation, streamflow, and reservoir data from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation (BoR), the Applied Climate Information System (ACIS), the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), and other hydrometeorological monitoring entities.</p>
<p>The Interactive Map has two regions: the map display itself, and the map controls which determine both the display mode and the types of data and stations to show on the map: Display Modes; Map Components; Station Conditions Controls; Basin Conditions Controls; Station Inventory Controls.</p>
