DroughtWatch: Surface Water Conditions in Alabama

The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has a network of 170 surface-water real-time monitoring stations in Alabama. The network provides real-time water-stage data along with rainfall recorded at 60 stations. These sites continuously record data on 15-minute intervals and transmit the data via satellite to be incorporated into the USGS National Water Information System database. These data are automatically posted to the USGS Web site for public dissemination.
