  2. Water Resources Mission • To provide reliable, impartial, timely information that is needed to understand the Nation’s water resources.

  3. USGSStreamgaging Network • One of the primary responsibilities of the U.S. Geological Survey is the collection and analysis of hydrologic data.

  4. Louisiana HydroWatch • Over 225 near-real time stations equipped with GOES radio. • HydroWatch operation Centers in Baton Rouge and Ruston.

  9. USGS Streamgaging USGS Streamgaging Network Network Typically the data is collected in 15 - minute, 30 - minute, or one hour intervals, but can be collected on any interval required. The data is transmitted thru the GOES satellite to our office on 1 - hr or 4 - hr intervals, depending on the baud rate of the transmitter. The data may be transmitted on a random interval once certain threshold limits are reached.
