This is the page that keeps watch. The creek at Republic, the rain at our own station, the air, and the week ahead are all read again every few hours, and all of it is kept, so today's creek can be set against any day since 1988. One reading tells you whether it's a boots day or a boat day. Years of them tell you something bigger: how fast the creek comes up after a hard rain, how long it stays up, and whether that is changing as the ground upstream gets cleared and built on. Nobody notices that from one flood to the next. The record does.

The gauge tells you how much water is coming down. What is in it is a different question, and the same gauge helps answer that too, because it measures the oxygen in the creek every fifteen minutes. That reading, along with every business permitted to put something into Five Mile Creek and whether it has been sending in its reports, is on What goes in →.
Where this comes from Stage and flow are read from the US Geological Survey gauge 02457595, Fivemile Creek near Republic, which is the only live gauge left in this watershed. Rain totals come from the FIVEMILE weather station. The gauge and the station are read again every few hours, day and night, and every reading carries the time it was taken. A creek reading is a measurement, not a safety clearance.

A wildlife sighting filed on iNaturalist comes back out on this site once other naturalists have agreed on the name. Water conditions and anything odd on the creek have nowhere else to go, so send those here.
