Water Resources of Nebraska

Real-Time Streamflow Sites

Welcome to the USGS Web page for the Nebraska Water Science Center (WSC). Here you'll find information on Nebraska's rivers and streams, ground water, water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems.

The USGS provides current ("real-time") stream stage and streamflow, water-quality, and ground-water levels for over 130 sites in Nebraska.
