About ECI Water Monitoring
Real-time environmental data for understanding and protecting our watersheds.
What is this site?
This dashboard provides live water monitoring data collected by Ecosystems Connections Institute (ECI), an environmental consulting firm specializing in watershed science. Our network of monitoring stations measures stream flow, water temperature, and other key indicators around the clock. Data is updated hourly from sensors deployed in the field.
How to use the dashboard
Start with the map. Each dot represents a monitoring station. Tap or click any station to view its data.
Explore the charts. Use the buttons above the chart to switch between different measurements. Change the time range to see hours, days, or years of data.
Compare to history. Toggle the Min, Max, Mean, or Median buttons to see how current conditions compare to historical norms.
What we measure
Stream Flow (Discharge)
How much water is moving through the stream, measured in cubic feet per second (CFS). Higher numbers mean more water.
Water Temperature
The temperature of the water in the stream or lake. Important for fish habitat and recreational use.
Water Level
The height of water at the sensor, measured in feet. Used to calculate stream flow and track flooding.
Flow Duration Curve
Shows how often a stream reaches different flow levels based on its historical record. Helps put today's conditions in context.
Map features
The map has several interactive layers you can toggle using the layers button (stacked squares icon) in the upper-right corner of the map.
Watershed Boundaries
The drainage area that feeds each monitoring station. All rain that falls inside a watershed boundary flows to that station.
Lake Depth (Bathymetry)
Contour lines showing lake depth. Useful for fishing, boating, and understanding lake structure.
Stream Network
Mapped streams and channels throughout the watershed.
Flow Path Tracer
Click anywhere on the map to see where rainwater would flow. Traces the path from any point through streams and lakes to the watershed outlet.
Weather Radar
Live NEXRAD radar showing current precipitation in the area.
Basemap Options
Switch between satellite imagery, topographic, and street map views.
