RSS Feeds | Observed | Forecasts | Alerts |
This page provides access to observed and forecast river conditions in RSS/XML feeds/format. Comments and feedback are welcome. A Product Description Document is also available.
Note: The alerts utilize both observations and forecast information (where available). Forecasts are available at select river locations where data histories and forecast procedures make them possible. This RSS feed is based on the original development efforts of John Yagecic of the Delaware River Basin Commission.
