Water Data for the Nation inventory

Monitoring location 12178000 is associated with a Stream in Whatcom County, Washington. Current conditions of Discharge, Gage height, and Temperature are available. Water data back to 1815 are available online.

The datum of the gage has been determined to be 406.2 ft above NAVD 1988. To obtain stream water-surface elevation values in NAVD 1988, add 406.2 ft to gage height values.
