Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 05051500 is associated with a Stream in Richland County, North Dakota. Current conditions of Discharge, Gage height, and Stream water level elevation above NAVD 1988 are available. Water data back to 1897 are available online.

Real-time discharge values displayed on this graph are for the Red River only. Daily discharge values are available both for the Red River only and for the Red River and Ottertail River Diversion, combined. They are labeled "Red River Only" and "Combined", respectively. Daily discharge values labeled "Combined" include the combined flows from the Red River at Wahpeton, ND (05051500) and the Otter Tail River Diversion at Breckenridge, MN (05046475) beginning in the water year 2005.
