Need Your Help - A New USGS Streams Gauge Page
- Thread starter DaveKile
- Start date
Hey, I need your help. The USGS removed many of their old legacy data and websites for the USGS Stream Gauges. There are new web tools, but none of them work with this forum very easily. I have found some ways to add these stream gauge data points to Paflyfish. Actually, I hope to even create some better views than the USGS provided. As you can see below, I cannot only add data that we had in the old state table but new information from other sources like the National Weather Service.
This is the first start of this project and need your help, please. Once we get this paired down, I can begin to get a little more creative and make something useful for us all.
There are some 360+ USGS Stream Gauges across the state. I really think this is way too many. Some are at locations none of us really fish, and others are redundant for some rivers and streams. Trimming the number to something close to 150 would be great. It would make it easier to read and technically faster to load.
I have already removed about 100 gauge locations and need your help. Please help me identify those stream gauges we really don’t need. An example would be on the Delaware River. What are the best one or two that make sense to keep? Even other smaller streams may have there or six gauges, and we may only need one?
To help, please reply to this thread and let me know what stream gauges you think we can remove. Simply add the stream name and station #. The station # will be important so I get the correct location. You will see I created new links from the station # and name to the USGS Gauge and Google Map to help identify.
Letting me know a steam gauge you like is nice, but I’m already keeping the streams listed. I really need to know which ones you think are redundant and unnecessary and I can delete. I have them segregated into the six regions of Pennsylvania. This is another little different approach than the USGS.
Once completed, I will be creating and making a new, easy-to-use page giving us all access to the new and improved USGS Stream Gauge Pennsylvania Stream Page.
Thank you,
Dave
