Real-Time Streamflow Sites

Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Web page for the water resources of Maine; this is your direct link to all kinds of water-resource information. Here you'll find information on Maine's rivers and streams. You'll also find information about groundwater, 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 USGS provides current ("real-time") stream stage and streamflow, water-quality, and groundwater levels for over 130 sites in Maine.

Maine Data Highlights

2010 Water Data Report Now Available

Annual Water Data for Maine home page.The 2010 USGS Water Data Report is now available to provide a snapshot of water conditions for a given year. The report includes text and map interfaces that can be used to identify and access an area of interest, locate sites where water data were collected for various Water Years

Instantaneous Data Archive (IDA)

Instantaneous Data Archive for Maine.The Instantaneous Data Archive makes available as much intra-day streamflow data and historical instantaneous data continuous (measurements from every 5 to every 60 minutes), as possible, often several years' worth of data.

Flood inundation map interface.

Ft. Kent, Maine Flood Inundation Mapping - Flood inundation maps developed for Fort Kent, Maine depict estimates of the areal extent and depth of flooding corresponding to selected water levels (gage heights) at the USGS streamgage, St. John River below Fish River at Fort Kent, Maine (station 01014000) and the USGS streamgage, Fish River near Fort Kent, Maine (station 01013500). Current gage heights at these USGS streamgages may be obtained on the Internet at https://waterdata.usgs.gov/me/nwis/current/?type=flow. Forecasted peak-gage-height information, available from the National Weather Service, may be used in conjunction with these maps to show predicted areas of flood inundation.
