April 2026 Hydrostation Report

Hydrostation Partners and Hosts, 

Please see the April hydrostation report below. 

The Iowa Flood Center has created limited signage for our more publicly accessible hydrostations, working with the cooperating counties in which they are hosted. Hydrostation signage will include project information, instrumentation overview, and a scannable code that takes users directly to the data. Distribution for these signs should begin within the next few weeks. 

Real-time hydrostation data continues to be available on the Iowa Flood Information System

All hydrostation data (current and historic) can be accessed on the historic data platformEach yellow square on the map represents a hydrostation. Click on the hydrostation of interest to view available data.
