  • Due to a lapse in government funding, the majority of USGS websites will not be updated except to provide important public safety information. Websites displaying real-time water data will be updated with limited support. For more information please see www.doi.gov/shutdown.
  • Explore the NEW USGS National Water Dashboard interactive map to access real-time water data from over 13,500 stations nationwide.

NOTE: During winter months, stage and discharge may be significantly affected by backwater from ice, resulting in incorrect discharge data. Consequently, discharge data may not be displayed during periods of ice effect. Click here for more information.
