## To run :
|
|
1. Clone the repository
|
|
2. Change the working directory in line 6 of `USGS_NWIS.R`. The script will make the `data` and `figures` directory in the working directory. 10 rivers will generate ~100MB of total data and figures.
|
|
3. Edit the list of rivers and their respective site IDs in `river_IDs.csv`
|
|
4. Run the script. The intitial download of the data will take some time. Subsequent runs will just download new data.
