USGS Monitoring Location Pages provide the public direct access to the water data from across the nation that USGS collects. USGS WaterAlert is a notification service, alerting users based on the criteria they select, like if gage height is above certain flood levels.
Learn more on the USGS Water Data for the Nation blog.
NextGen Monitoring Location Pages went live in March. Legacy Current Conditions Pages are now planned to redirect to NextGen Monitoring Location Pages in September 2022 and Legacy Current Conditions Pages are planned to be decommissioned in July 2023. Check this blog post for details.
NextGen WaterAlert transition period for all users is anticipated to open in August 2022 and close in the end of September.
Users must transition their alerts to the NextGen system during the designated transition window. After the transition window closes, legacy subscription information will no longer be accessible. In this circumstance, users can re-create their alerts from scratch in the new system. The timeline for transition is estimated and may be subject to change – check this blog for the most up to date and accurate information about the WaterAlert transition.
