Streamflow decreased in Alaska, Alberta, Iowa, Minnesota, Mississippi, North Dakota, Utah, and southweastern parts of the Northeast Region, and increased in New Brunswick, Saskatchewan, Nevada, Pacific-coastal states, and in a broad band from Maine through the Ohio Valley to New Mexico. Elsewhere, flows were variable. Flows were above-normal in parts of Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Nevada, New Mexico, New York, Texas, Utah, and Washington, and in parts of British Columbia, Idaho, Missouri, Nova Scotia, and Quebec. Daily mean discharges were highest of record in some streams in British Columbia and Washington. Water shortages prevailed in parts of the Northeast Region. Below-normal flows persisted in the Southeast Region, most of Nebraska and Kansas, and smaller areas in Arizona, Arkansas, California, Colorado, Illinois, North Dakota, Saskatchewan, and Texas. Mississippi River flow at Baton Rouge, Louisiana was critically low. Ground-water levels rose in most of the Northeast Region. Below-average levels persisted in southern New England, northern New Jersey, in parts of Delaware and Maryland. Levels rose in Mississippi, declined in Virginia, North Carolina, and Alabama. Levels were below average in Virginia, Mississippi, and Alabama. Levels generally rose in Michigan and in Illinois, and generally declined in other Great Lake States. In the Midcontinent Region, levels declined in North Dakota. Levels rose in Nevada and declined in Idaho, Montana, and southern California. Trends were mixed in other States. Levels were generally below average in Washington, Idaho, Montana, and New Mexico. New highs were recorded in Arizona, southern California, Nevada, and Utah. New lows occurred in Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Kansas, Nebraska, New Mexico, Texas, and Utah, and a new alltime low was reported in Arizona.
