Nice find on the USGS Big Quilcene gauge! The DOE shutdown theirs a year or two ago and I guess City of PT talked USGS into hosting it? Or has it always been on USGS? The data record goes back through 2007...

Regardless, another data point for Olympic boating decisions, especially critical in that corner with the rain shadow and extreme precipitation gradients. So thanks man!

Adam, I thought you knew about the Big Quilcene and Duckabush USGS gauges or I would have pointed them out sooner. They are listed on American Whitewaters website and I have been using them a lot the last couple of months to go paddle the Duckabush, Dosewsallips, and Big Quilcene. I got off my lazy ass and just sent the email suggestion for the direct link to the Duckabush USGS gauge.

No sweat, Adam. Thanks for the shout out. I try and fill in the details as I find 'em.

Hot damn! This is the link I've been using for the duckabush gauge and I just checked a couple data points and it's the same data so same gauge...

http://watermonitor.gov/naww/en/index.php?usst=wa&ushuc=&nus=&st=wa&id=wwgmap_viewer

So as long as the telemetry is on, anyone can host real time data from these stream gauges? Now someone tell me the Dosewallips gauge that DOE closed last year is online elsewhere!?

The watermonitor.gov site just pulls the data from the USGS gauge, so yes it's the same. As long as the telemetry is on, I believe any site can query any given gauge ID and host the data in real time. As far the DOE Dosewallips gauge though, my understanding is they completely stopped funding it and no one else like the USGS picked it up. This means the the gauge doesn't transmit, so there is no data for anyone to pull and host elsewhere. I have always wondered how much gauges like this cost to fund, but never enough to actually contact the appropriate agency and inquire. I just try to get good at nearby gauge correlation.

Adam, would this be another possible gauge for a competent party to manage/report levels...??
