Yes, we have visual cues about the king tide - it is extremely rare for the area in the white circle to be filled with water this is normally a marsh with grasses. Matches the levels showing on the streamgage.

King Tide here in Georgia’s Golden Isles. It’s showing up on the USGS rivergage at St. Simon’s. How are things in your area? Free app download to check out thousands of gages nationally, including 3 months of historical data.

A HYDROGRAPH💧📈 is a chart showing how river levels change over time. They help people understand rivers + predict 🚨FLOODS🚨 by showing when the river is rising, how fast the river is rising, and when the river is going back down. This is a screen shot of a hydrograph from the RiverAware app.

Did somebody say 🚨FLOODING🚨? Flooding is often determined by the shape and slope of the river, along with the make up of the surrounding land. Yep, every river is special 🤩
We use "streamgaging" stations to measure their flow (also known as “discharge”) and height (also known as “stage”).

River are in zones:
1️⃣ Source: the beginning, usually in the mountains.
2️⃣ Transition: it widens as it moves to flatter land.
3️⃣ Floodplain: it flows slowly through flat land. Prone to 🚨FLOODING🚨 during heavy rain and snow melt. It often ends at a delta in a lake, sea, or ocean.

Lots of water runs through the ground, a process called percolation, just like coffee was made back in the olden days - drip, drip, drip 💧💧💧. It ends up in the aquifer and eventually back in the oceans, ponds, the rivers and the lakes...don’t go chasing waterfalls 🎶🎶🎶

What’s this WATERSHED thing people bring up a lot?
Well, picture an area of land, all of the water on, and in, that land drains into a common body of water: a river, lake, or ocean – that’s the 💧watershed💧. Water carries things with it, even the yucky stuff, so we need to keep it healthy 🌿.

Mostly we develop sensors for scientists, but our Chief Technologist also enjoys connecting people and science. After experiencing TS Irene he noodled on how to put USGS streamgage data into the hands of *anyone* - the RiverAware app was created to help people understand flooding and stay safe.
