Savvy Paddlers Get Live River Info Online
From the Journal Gazette/Times-Courier (IL):
Savvy raft riders are learning to tap the Internet for water release and stream flow information before deciding whether it’s worth traveling long distances to run their favorite rivers.
...
These days, the data is available to those who learn how to read it. Instruments (“gages” in government-speak) placed along rivers record how much water is flowing past and transmit numbers - updated hourly - to satellites and then to agency Web sites.
Im a raft rider too. I always research information before i decide where im going to ride rivers.
