The colored dots on this map depict streamflow conditions as a percentile, which is computed from the period of record for the current day of the year. Only stations with at least 30 years of record are used.
The gray circles indicate other stations that were not ranked in percentiles either because they have fewer than 30 years of record or because they report parameters other than streamflow. Some stations, for example, measure stage only.


NOTICE (10/01/04) -- A number of stations in Delaware were planned for discontinuationon October 1, 2004, as part of short-term projects. The station on Stockley Branch was discontinued because local conditions have made the data less useful. Stations that were discontinued are:

Real-time data typically are recorded at 15 minute intervals, stored onsite, and then transmitted to USGS every 4 hours. Recording and transmission times may be more frequent during critical events. Data from real-time sites are relayed to USGS via telephone and are available for viewing within minutes of arrival.

All real-time data are provisional and subject to revision.
