Gages

United States Geological Survey (USGS) WaterAlert
The U.S. Geological Survey WaterAlert service sends e-mail or text messages when certain parameters measured by a data-collection station exceed user-definable thresholds. The development and maintenance of the WaterAlert system is supported by USGS and its data-collection partners, including numerous federal, state, and local agencies.

Real-time data from USGS gages are transmitted via satellite or other telemetry to USGS offices at various intervals; in most cases, once every 1 or 4 hours. Emergency transmissions, such as during floods, may be more frequent. Notifications will be based on the data received at these site-dependent intervals.

Burleigh County Water Gaging Stations

The Burleigh County Highway Department has 14 Water Gaging Stations being monitored by employees, law enforcement and local residents.

**The water gage measurements are only to be used as an indicator of rising or falling water levels. They are not to be used as actual flood levels.
