21 Threatened stations operated by the USGS for which the USGS does not believe full funding will be forth coming. Or a gage for which reduced funding may result in converting to stage-only.

170 Endangered stations operated by the USGS for which the USGS has received formal communications that full funding will not be provided by current funding agency or for which the current funding agreement has expired without an indication that a new agreement is the works or highly likely. Or a gage for which reduced funding may result in converting to stage-only

180 Recently-discontinued stations operated by the USGS for real-time data are no longer being made public. Or a gage for which reduced funding resulted in converting to stage-only.

National Streamflow Information Program

The primary reason for these actions is the lack of funding to support the continued operation of the stations. Funds for these stations are from the U.S. Geological Survey and other Federal, State, Tribal, and local agencies. For those stations that have already been discontinued, extensive efforts were made to find another funding source; however, when no funding was made available the stations had to be discontinued. For those stations at risk for discontinuation, the current funding source has indicated that it can no longer fund the station. Efforts are currently underway to identify another funding source for the operation of these stations; however, if no funding is identified, then these stations will have to be discontinued also.
