Fyi… for those dealing with streamflow data needs, this is important news:

*USGS Threatened and Endangered Stations*

http://streamstatsags.cr.usgs.gov/ThreatenedGages/ThreatenedGages.html

*USGS to Discontinue Streamgages Due to Sequestration:*The
U.S.Geological Survey (USGS) will discontinue operation of up to 375
streamgages nationwide due to budget cuts as a result of sequestration.
Additional streamgages may be affected if partners reduce their funding
to support USGS streamgages. The USGS is working to identify which
streamgages will be impacted and will post this information as it
becomes available. Streamgages are used nationwide to predict and
address drought and flood conditions by monitoring water availability.
The USGS and over 850 Federal, State, and local agencies cooperatively
fund the USGS streamgaging network, which consists of over 8,000
streamgages. When budget fluctuations occur, the network is impacted.

The following stations have been or are about to be discontinued due to
the lack of funding. If you have questions about specific stations,
please contact the individual identified for each State. If you have
questions about the US Geological Survey National Streamflow Information
Program in general please contact Mike Norris (603-226-7847;
