Water Resources of South CarolinaThe USGS and Hurricane MatthewAfter the Storm - Hurricane Matthew and the FloodsHurricane Matthew Information Portal SAWSC is also responding to the rains and flooding being forecast by ensuring that USGS real-time gages are operational and providing critical information on river stage and rainfall to the public, National Weather Service, and emergency management officials. In addition, USGS will deploy staff to make streamflow measurements at streamgages across the state to verify and update the relations river stage and streamflow. These relations are critical for determining the volume of water that passes a streamgaging station at any given river stage and are used in issuing flood warnings, mapping floodplains, monitoring water-quality and environmental conditions and managing water resources. Hurricane Joaquin ProductsPreliminary Peak Stage and Streamflow Data for the South Carolina Flood of October 2015Open-File Report 2015-1201 This report provides preliminary information documenting the peak streamflows and stages for those rivers and streams in South Carolina that are part of the USGS real-time streamgaging network impacted by the historic rainfall that occurred October 1-5, 2015.

S.C. Monitoring NetworksThe USGS South Atlantic Water Science Center - South Carolina continuously monitors surface water, groundwater, and water quality parameters across the state. Monitoring sites are operated in cooperation with various local, State, or Federal agencies. Surface WaterSouth Carolina provides real-time water-stage, streamflow and precipitation data at 152 sites across the state. GroundwaterOver twenty groundwater wells are monitored by the USGS in South Carolina. These wells record data on hourly intervals. Water QualityWater-quality conditions are continuously monitored by the USGS at 42 sites across the state of South Carolina Featured Podcasts and ProductsVideo

Hydrologic Tools Now AvailableBelow are links to Web sites that can help you view South Carolina water data and to analyze historical hydrologic processes in the state. South Atlantic Water Science Center - South Carolina RiverCamWe now have two webcam installations. The latest installation is near Wade Hampton, SC and is sponsered by the SC Department of Transportation USGS WaterAlert: Instant Information about Current Water ConditionsNow you can receive instant, customized updates about water conditions by subscribing to WaterAlert, a new service from the U.S. Geological Survey. Whether you are watching for floods, interested in recreational activities or concerned about the quality of water in your well, WaterAlert allows you to receive daily or hourly updates about current conditions in rivers, lakes and groundwater when they match conditions of concern to you. Alerts are provided via text message or email for any station you select. National Water Information System: MapperThe new NWIS Mapper provides an interactive map interface to all USGS water data (historical and current). (Note: To access data, zoom in on the map to level 11 or greater to make the individual sites clickable.) Google maps deliver current streamflow conditionsWe recently added a Google-map based Web page to deliver map-based current surface-water resources conditions in South Carolina. Historical instantaneous unit valuesHistorical streamflow unit values are now available through the USGS Instantaneous Data Archive (IDA) Current streamflow rating tablesShift-adjusted ratings are now available to you on line; they are updated daily and can change frequently. Highlighted PublicationsThe South Atlantic Water Science Center - South Carolina produces publications about water resources.
