Current Streamflow Conditions
Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Web page for the water resources of Kansas.
Here you'll find information on Kansas's rivers and streams. You'll also find information about
, water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems.
The Kansas Water Science Center provides current ("real-time")
stream stage in Kansas and streamflow,
water-quality,
and groundwater levels for over 200 sites.
The USGS provides National ("real-time") stream stage and
streamflow, water-quality, and groundwater levels for over 7000 sites.
