The USGS New England Water Science Center maintains nearly 450 streamgages that collect data to determine the amount of water flowing in rivers and streams in Connecticut, Maine, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhode Island, and Vermont. The Water Science Center also maintains about 15 tide gages along the coast of New England.
Nationwide, the USGS operates and maintains about 8,000 streamgages, which deliver near real-time data to the public.
Automatic alerts can be sent to mobile devices when streamflow of river or tide stage (water levels) reach user defined thresholds, such as a National Weather Service defined flood stage. These alerts help emergency managers and the public assess potentially hazardous conditions nearby a streamgage, stage-only gage, or tide gage.
USGS WaterAlert automatically sends email or SMS text messages when certain parameters at a USGS real-time data-collection station, exceed user-defined thresholds.

USGS Flood Information
The USGS collects flood data and conducts targeted flood science to help Federal, State, and local agencies, decision makers, and the public before, during, and after a flood. Our efforts provide situational awareness, drive predictive models, inform infrastructure design and operation, undergird floodplain mapping, assist flood constituent/load quantification, and facilitate flood impact...

Flood Inundation Mapping (FIM) Program
Floods are the leading cause of natural-disaster losses in the U.S. More than 75 percent of declared Federal disasters are related to floods, and annual flood losses average almost $8 billion with over 90 fatalities per year. Although the amount of fatalities has declined due to improved early warning systems, economic losses continue to rise with increased urbanization in flood-hazard areas.
Floods: Recurrence intervals and 100-year floods Floods: Recurrence intervals and 100-year floods
How do we know or measure if a flood that could happen tomorrow is worse than one that happened 2, 10 or 50 years ago? If heavy rain is being forecasted does that mean that rivers are going to rise and spill over their banks and flood your neighborhood? These are some of the questions that we think about when flooding or heavy rain is forecast by public media or the National Weather Service (NWS).
The 100-Year Flood
A 100-year flood happened last year so it won't happen for another 99 years, right? Not exactly. Misinterpretation of terminology often leads to confusion about flood recurrence intervals. Read on to learn more.
