How Is This Data Collected?
This data is collected by Flow365 Monitors. These are volunteers who track the status of flow in our creeks and rivers year round. This one-of-a-kind data is helping us restore Tucson’s heritage of flowing creeks and rivers, adapt to climate change, and prepare for a growing population that places higher demands on our regional and local water sources. In both the near and distant future, Flow365 data will help the people of Tucson protect our water, riparian habitats, and the people, plants and animals of the Sonoran Desert.
This data is critical to helping us understand how our desert rivers respond to changes in precipitation and groundwater levels. It also helps us determine the impact of collective conservation actions on creek flows, as we strive towards our long-term goal of restoring Tucson’s heritage of flowing creeks and rivers.
