In this contribution we review the large body of work carried out over the past two decades to probe the dark matter in the local universe using redshift survey and peculiar velocity data. While redshift surveys have evolved rapidly over the years, gathering suitable peculiar velocity data and understanding the short-comings of different analyses have proven to be a difficult task. These difficulties have led to conflicting results which have casted some doubts on the usefulness of cosmic flows to constrain cosmological models. Recently, however, a consistent picture seems to be finally emerging with various methods of analyses applied to different data sets yielding concordant results. These favor a low-density universe, with constraints which are in good agreement with those obtained from LSS, high-redshift supernovae and CMB studies.
