USGS Real-Time Water Data for the Nation

This USGS site allows students to access a variety of stream flow information. There is an interactive map where the user can select stream flow data for selected stream gauging stations in the United States. Stations can be selected in list form, an interactive state map, or 10 nearest stations to position selected. Each retrieval form allows the user to refine their data search through predefined displays, such as tables, maps, or reports. Tables can be called up and further defined by basin, county, or hydro-logic unit.
