Know the flow.
All the water news. One map.
Checking the water level used to mean visiting a dozen websites. Not anymore. Every few minutes, Waterline grabs the newest numbers from the people who measure rivers, rain and weather. Then we put it all on one easy map, so you can see where water is going up, where it's going down, and where rain is on the way.
Seven states. Every gauge.
Each state has its own live map with every river gauge, lake level, dam release, rain gauge, radar loop, public hunting area and duck sighting.
Your waters. Your way.
Each state's map shows everything. Pick an activity to see just what matters for it.

Water data. Real decisions.
One screen instead of twelve websites. Waterline pulls government water and weather data every 15 minutes and does the math for you. It boils down to one question: where is water coming up into new ground right now?
Live river gauges
Every USGS and National Weather Service gauge in the state, plus Corps of Engineers dam releases. NOAA's National Water Model forecasts the creeks that don't have a gauge.
Rain & radar
Looping Doppler radar, radar rain totals, real rain-gauge readings, the 7-day rain forecast, flash flood warnings, and how soaked the ground already is.
Rising Water Score
Every wildlife area and refuge gets a 0–100 score from its gauges, rain, creek forecast, soil and flood stage, plus a 5-day forecast that flags cold fronts and freezes.

Every level matters.
Rivers rise overnight and fall just as fast. Whether you're launching a boat, wading a creek, floating a river or heading to the woods, Waterline shows you what the water is doing right now, and what it's about to do.
