Water Flow Visualization
This animation depicts the flow of water through the river system of the United States. Color and width of line indicates volume of flow passing a given point per unit time. The data were obtained from a two-year simulation of land water and energy balances, coupled to a network model of the river system. Because the model was started from a dry initial state, little flow is produced in the first year. Note the production of flow by spring snowmelt in the Rockies and the subsequent downstream flows.
