cool chart. this is very similar to the ones i deal with for my job but instead for sewer and storm drain levels

Its from the US Geolological Service.

I have booked marked about a dozen gauges for various rivers to check the flows and temperatures

West Branch Delaware River at Hale Eddy NY

Discover water data collected at monitoring location USGS-01426500, located in Delaware County, New York and find additional nearby monitoring locations.

waterdata.usgs.gov

Today's rain raised the cfs nearly off the chart.

Looks like a new high for this day.

this example is from a location downtown toronto near the lake and yes its showing the sensor below water level at times. there is a pressure sensor that takes readings on it instead of the ultrasonic part of it when that happens

Is this for drinking water? What's the purpose? What does water level above bottom mean?

above bottom of the sewer floor

so the cities an municipalities know when levels are high and they can send pump trucks out instead of having overflows. also lets them know where sewage is diverted along the system when levels rise and get to secondary pipes

ends up at treatment and filtration plants

Holy crap. first ever recorded death from a black bear in Florida. Kind of shocking honestly.

Black Bears are usually not interested in tangling with humans.

They must've had some storms upstate NY the other night

Something I've learned from living in NY is that absolutely nobody wants to claim the title of "upstate New York." Instead, you've got a bunch of regional terms. Westchester and Hudson Valley are self-explanatory names. Binghamton and the rest of that stretch north of the Pennsylvania border is the Southern Tier. The area around Albany is the Capital Region. Rochester and parts west are Western New York. Even the northernmost part of the state would rather call itself the North Country. Now, maybe I've been here too long, but I'm convinced it's not a useful term to begin with. Like, where would it start?

There are black bears in Florida? Since when? Are they snowbirds like their human counterparts?

And yeah black bears aren't the aggressive type. Pretty surprising story here.

There are some massive black bears in Florida and a lot of them... about 4000 of them estimated. They've been debating a hunting season for them for the last few years.

Next issue will be panthers... Florida Fish and Wildlife estimates around 200...but I think they are way too low on that. I know they have good research methods and are monitoring these things very closely but my very unscientific method of following peoples trail camera pictures and videos tell me something very different with the volume of pictures being taken.... especially with kittens. You don't get 20 or 30 different random lion videos from very different areas in people's backyards with only 200 animals...they are the most elusive animal in North America...I'm guessing there are triple or quadruple the amount of lions in Florida than what Fish and Wildlife says there are.



I'm old, anything north of Westchester is upState. Anything West of New Jersey is the wilderness

When I was in college my ftrst would break up into Upstate and Down State for various events. Being from Westchester I was always put with the Upstate contingent. Seemed weird to me but whatever.
