Rivercast: River Levels USA

I’m very grateful to have this data at my disposal. I live near areas that can flood and i also have another property that could be at risk in major coastal storms. I like the way the data is presented (especially compared to trying to interpret the raw data if you go to USGS directly, and on a phone screen no less). USGS output is more technical in nature and designed to be read on a large monitor. If I had a wish list it might be nice to get notifications when approaching a flood condition - although only a small minority of flood gauges actually are forecasted by USGS, or even have calibrations for various flood stage levels. I also used to check this info for a buddy’s vacation home, but now he has the app. I’d like to add (a few years later - it’s May 2022) that many new features and options in settings have been added, plus it seems like there’s far more reporting stations then there used to be. So, as I said a few years ago, this app is a worthwhile investment, especially if you have property, boats, or loved ones to protect
