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

These sites were operated as part of the USGS Glacial Ridge
Hydrology Project. The project purpose was to quantify the hydrologic
benefits of wetland and prairie restorations, such as flood reduction
and water-quality improvements. The project identifed landscape
characteristics that result in the most restoration benefits, and
located areas in western Minnesota that have those characteristics.
These areas are most likely to produce the greatest hydrologic benefits
from wetland and prairie restoration.
All sites except WLN06 are no longer maintained after 20 April 2016.
Water level calibration data continue to be collected, but the record
is not being corrected. Raingages are not being maintained or
calibrated.
