Water Resources of New York
Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Web page for the water resources of New York. Here you'll find information on New York's rivers, lakes, and estuaries. You'll also find information about groundwater, water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream- and tide-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems.
The USGS provides current ("real-time") stream stage and surface-water, water-quality, and groundwater levels for over 300 sites in New York.
NOTICE (07/01/2010) -- Funding has been identified to support all but two streamgages currently in danger of being shut down. Data collection and/or real-time data delivery from these two streamgages may be discontinued on October 1, 2010 due to funding reductions from partner agencies. For more information, see our real-time water data page.
