Our Community Needs Your Help!

We are a dedicated environmental conservation organization committed to safeguarding our local creek and the communities that depend on it. Our creek is not just a beautiful natural resource; it's the lifeblood of our community. However, with the increasing threat of floods, droughts, and changing environmental conditions, the need for accurate, real-time data on the creek's water levels has never been more critical.

Why a River Gauge Matters:

A river gauge is a vital tool for monitoring water levels and ensuring the safety and well-being of everyone along the creek. Here’s how it makes a difference:

- Flood Warnings: Early flood detection saves lives and prevents damage to homes, businesses, and public infrastructure. A river gauge provides crucial real-time data that can alert our community to rising water levels, giving us time to act before disaster strikes.

- Water Quality and Ecosystem Health: By monitoring water levels, the gauge helps us understand and manage the creek's health. It allows us to track changes that could affect water quality and aquatic life, ensuring a thriving ecosystem for generations to come.

- Infrastructure Planning and Maintenance: Reliable data from a river gauge is essential for planning and maintaining critical infrastructure, such as bridges and dams. This ensures that our community is better prepared to withstand the impacts of fluctuating water levels.

- Safe Recreation: Our creek is a hub for recreational activities like boating, fishing, and swimming. Accurate water level data ensures that these activities are safe and enjoyable for everyone.
