BLM and UAF personnel are performing detailed hydrologic field work in the National Petroleum Reserve – Alaska (NPR-A). Field efforts involve stream gauging, measurements of water quality parameters, and collection of basic weather variables. Stream gauging is conducted during Spring breakup, mid summer and early fall. Discharge measurements involve the following streams in the NPR-A area (see map below):
