First paragraph in "Streamflow Conditions": The dates for the high and low percentiles (75th and 6th percentiles) were changed to May 6 and 7 and September 23 through 28, respectively. Second paragraph in "Streamflow Conditions": Change the reference to figure 4 in "Two of the four streamgages (fig. 4B and C) had record low flows in September 2020." to parts B and C (p. 6). Also, change "3 of 10" to "5 of 15" streamgages, and two of six" to "three of eight" streamgages (p. 7). Third paragraph of "Groundwater Conditions" (p. 8): Change reference to figures from "(fig. 5A-C)" to "(fig. 6A-C)" and change "Three of the four wells (fig. 6A, B, and D) had record lows in September 2020." to "Two of the four wells (fig. 6A and D) had record lows in September 2020." "Paired Streamflow and Groundwater Responses to Drought": Change the exceedance from "1.5 in." to "2.5 in." above average. The figures were revised as follows: Figure 3: Updated the 2020 drought label to "Average 7-day streamflow on May 6 and 7 was in the 75th percentile and on September 23 through 28 in the 6th percentile" Figure 4: Corrected part B to show the record low as "8.04 ft3/s" and part C to show "Victory, Vermont" in the label and to show the record as "Record low is 3.40 ft3/s on September 29, 2020". Figure 5: Updated maps for missing watershed basins (HUC6 basins) and data, placement of triangles (behind circles so cirles can be seen), correct ploting of data for August and September in part A, and sizing of data circles in maps of part B. Figure 6: Correct units for all record lows to "ft bls" in explanations (also added to caption); correct lows for B to "12.45 ft bls on October 24, 2020" and C to "13.50 ft bls on November 19, 1993". Figure 7: Replaced both graphs to reflect missing data. Figure 8: Replaced both graphs to reflect missing data.
