Hi, do you know of any online dataset or website where to retrieve river discharge time series as well as near real time values? Ideally it would be a global dataset, but also country wide datasets would be ok
The United States Army Corps of Engineers maintains many gauge stations across the USA. You can find river stage and discharge records from these stations at the following website:
Real time water quality data for nitrate, DO, SC, temperature, turbidity, discharge available for about 70 Iowa stream sites here: http://iwqis.iowawis.org/
