In previous newsletters, we shared plans to expand the hydrostation network in southwest Iowa with congressional support from Representative Nunn. We are currently finalizing contract details and anticipate bringing 18 new hydrostations online by the end of this year.
We were excited to highlight this progress with Iowa legislators last week at the Iowa Flood Center Legislative Breakfast (see photo above). We are now accepting host site requests in southwest Iowa—please help spread the word, or let me know if you have a potential location in mind.
All hydrostation data (current and historic) can be accessed on the historical data platform. Each yellow square on the map represents a hydrostation. Click on the hydrostation of interest to view available data.
