Gauge wish list

Some canyons with flowing water have gauges installed and managed by agencies/utilities. Some of these gauges are connected live to the internet and some aren't. This page serves to keep a wish list of gauges for creeks you'd like to see gauged or gauges needing live connection.
One place to see which gauges exist in the US is USGS Real-Time Stream Gauges or download the KML file for the US.
Feel free to add any relevant notes or just list creeks you'd like gauged so you can travel to a canyon better prepared for conditions.
Known gauges not live on the internet[edit]
These gauges are known to exist, but aren't connected to the internet.

- Lower Bear River (Crack Addiction) (operated by PG&E), with a weir at 38.535659, -120.258118; recorded w/ seasonal lag by USGS gauge 11315900
- Big Creek (Canyon of the Dammed), possibly gauged by SoCal Edison (is some flow released by SCE from Huntington)? Recorded w/ seasonal lag by USGS gauge 11237000 (possibly not all Big Creek flow captured here).
