Real-Time Streamflow and Groundwater Data
USGS Gauging Stations
Stream flows in the Pomperaug River watershed are recorded by U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) gauging stations on the
Pomperaug, Nonnewaug, and Weekeepeemee Rivers. These gauging stations provide real-time flow data that can be accessed
via the USGS website. The USGS stream-gauging program provides streamflow data for a variety of purposes that range
from current needs, such as flood forecasting, to future or long-term needs, such as detection of changes in streamflow
due to human activities or global warming. From the establishment of the first stream-gauging station operated by the
USGS in 1889, this program has grown to include 7,292 stations in operation as of 1994. Data from the active stations,
as well as from discontinued stations, are stored in a computer data base that currently holds mean daily-discharge
data for about 18,500 locations and more than 400,000 station-years of record.
