I'm interested in rivers (both ecologically and recreationally) and I want to know
|
|
- what water level different rivers are currently at
|
|
- how does that compare to their water levels throughout the year and in their recent history
|
|
|
|
In the US, the United States Geologic Survey (USGS) maintains a large set of realtime water level sensors, and that dataset is queriable through an API. So I wrote these scripts that take a set of rivers and their associated gauge IDs, downloads the recent and historical data and generates a bunch of graphs.
