Finding Gaging Sites Along a River
To get started selecting a site, click the Settings tab and select
a state by clicking the white box under “Set the state”. Then
click the box under “Set the site”
You will see a scrolling list of gaging sites organized by county.
Click a site to select it.
You can also enter text in the search box. Start typing the
name of a river, e.g. San Joaquin, and you will see matching
sites. This is a quick way to find USGS gaging sites along a
river in your state.
Click the blue “Search” button to close the keyboard and scroll through the matches, or click on a site to select it.
This works for site numbers, too.
When you click on a site you will be prompted for the number of days worth of data to download. “Quick Look” is very fast.
“90 days” takes longer but gives you a 90 day historical view that
can be scrolled to show 120 days.
Finally, return to the Streamflow tab to see the results.
