Abstract
The maps and graphs in this summary describe national streamflow conditions for water year 2019 (October 1, 2018, to September 30, 2019) in the context of streamflow ranks relative to the 90-year period of water years 1930–2019. Annual runoff in the Nation’s rivers and streams during water year 2019 (13.62 inches) was much higher than the long-term (1930–2019) mean annual runoff of 9.37 inches for the contiguous United States. Nationwide, the 2019 streamflow ranked the highest out of the 90 years.
