View from the SE rim of McDermitt caldera, Nevada and Oregon, showing rhyolite lavas overlain by thin outflow McDermitt Tuff in the south wall of the caldera. The low area that makes up most of the photo is intracaldera tuffaceous sediment. This is Thacker Pass, the site of largest and highest-grade lithium deposits in the region.

Baseflow sustains water in streams even during dry periods of no rain. 💧 Our new Baseflow Forecast Tool allows you to download low flow forecasts. Register for the 5/9 webinar and access the tool at usgs.gov/baseflow.
On a dark blue background, we see a turquoise illustrated river. Text on the image reads, “New Baseflow Forecast Tool. Find out how much water will be available if there is no rain. Download forecasts for thousands of locations across the US at usgs.gov/baseflow. Join us for a demo of the tool at our webinar on Thursday May 9th, 2 PM EDT.” We see a small screenshot of the Tool. The white USGS logo is in the bottom left.
