Headwater Flooding The USGS-WRD maintains a nationwide network of streamgages providing Federal, State and local agencies, institutions, and the private sector with accurate reliable river stage and discharge information for many water-use and design needs. Most of the nation's streamgages and many of the streamgages discussed in this report may be accessed in a real-time mode through the internet at the following address: http://water.usgs.gov/realtime.html The following paragraphs discuss river flooding caused by Hurricane/Tropical Storm Georges and in large part reference figure 3.
