Streamflow, Temperature and other parameters from Sampling Stations

Entry ID: USGS_streamflow

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: Approximately 5,000 of the 6,900 U.S. Geological Survey sampling stations are
equipped with telemetry to transmit data on streamflow, temperature, and other
parameters back to a data base for real-time viewing via the World Wide Web. A
map of the realtime stations is produced every day.

Each USGS District Office serves the realtime data of the stations it services.

the WWW at the time of compilation. Some stations -- and sometimes whole states
-- may be excluded because of temporary webserver or network problems. In
addition, a station with data may not be shown on the map if its name and
location are not yet in the master list.
