Water monitoring stations operated by the United States Geological Survey report declining stream levels around the region. A few examples, taken from the USGS Current Water Data for the Nation website, show this trend:

Up-to-date data for any of these rivers and many others is available from the site linked above. Also, in the right-hand sidebar under the heading, "Stream Flow Information," are links to several sites that provide this type of information. The USGS Water Alert site allows you to set up text or email alerts for various conditions on streams of interest.
