Water Resources of Missouri
Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS)
Web page for the water resources of Missouri; this is your direct link
to all kinds of water-resource information. Here you'll find information
on Missouri's rivers and streams. You'll also find information about ,
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 groundwater
levels for over 200 sites in Missouri.

The Instantaneous
Data Archive makes available as much intra-day streamflow data
and historical instantaneous data continuous (measurements from every
5 to every 60 minutes), as possible, often several years' worth of
data.
