Monitoring Data

Stream monitoring data is available online from all participants of the Lower Fox River Watershed Monitoring Program (LFRWMP), including the U.S. Geological Survey, the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee, and 5 participating high schools. LFRWMP stations typically have: daily flow, precip, TSS loads, phosphorus loads; statistics; concentrations; and real-time data for active stations available from the USGS web site links below.

• School-Based Monitoring Program Data

• USGS Real-time/Historical Flow Data (stream discharge and often loads on daily, monthly and annual basis, sample concentrations, field measurements, sites info/map, 5-15 minute instantaneous unit flow) All USGS Sites and Sampling Overview
