Realtime Data


Real-time surface-water and ground-water data are available for selected stations in Florida.

Real-time data typically are recorded at 15-60 minute intervals, stored onsite, and then transmitted to USGS offices every 4 hours. Recording and transmission times may be more frequent during critical events. Data from real-time sites are relayed to USGS offices via satellite, telephone, and/or radio and are available for viewing within 3 minutes of arrival.

Features of the National Water Conditions site include a link to the National Weather Service rainfall records, and a 5-day animation of streamflow conditions that will show, in a quick day-to-day snapshot, what has been happening with streamflow in 24-hour increments. As streamflow responds, for example, to localized rainfall, it is possible to see a short-term response in streamflow, with red dots (low flow) changing to green dots (more normal flow).

Daily Streamflow conditions are now available on a color-coded map of Florida. The colors on the map represent streamflow (discharge) as a percentile, which is computed from the period of record for the current day of the year. By clicking on individual "dots" on the map, you will go directly to the specific flow information for that streamflow gaging station.
