Answer: Real-time
streamflow data are available from the U.S. Geological
Survey for over 4200 stations throughout the United States. These data are available only through
the World-Wide Web.
The
American Whitewater Affiliation
provides a compilation of web pages and telephone numbers
where real-time streamflow and reservoir information can
be obtained across the United States.
Note
that direct telephone access to U.S. Geological Survey
stream-gaging stations is not authorized except for official
use, including those stations where National Weather Service
equipment is co-located.
Access
to these stations must be restricted to official use so
that data are available during emergencies.
