USGS StreaMail

mini cellphonesUSGS StreaMail is a system for accessing real-time river stage and streamflow information from hand-held wireless devices, such as cell phones and Blackberries. All you have to do is send an email or text message to "streamail@usgs.gov" and use a USGS station number in the "Subject" line. In a few minutes you'll receive an email with the most recent stage and streamflow data.

Illinois Highlights

Drought of 2012

The Drought of 2012 is affecting streamflow conditions and other hydrologic parameters in Illinois. The USGS Illinois Water Science Center is providing important water-resources data to water management officials, the public, and researchers during the Drought of 2012. You can access the data directly through the sidebar on the left for the most recent data. Or you can go through a map interface for real-time streamflow, precipitation, and water quality, and all groundwater measurements by clicking which type of data you would like. Additionally, field staff from the Illinois Water Science Center have been collecting low-flow discharge measurements and observations from streams throughout Illinois. Download and view the measurements and observations spreadsheet.

For more in-depth drought information, visit the Illinois Water Science Center Drought Page.
