Question: Why are data sometimes not available for a particular stream-gaging station?

Answer:

Occasionally, a piece of equipment may malfunction or there may be physical problems at a station. USGS tries to correct a station or equipment problem within several days of its first occurrence, and is generally successful in meeting this goal.
