GageWater.com is the first and only water monitoring app that can send SMS or email notifications for changes in water conditions based on thresholds you choose. River level data at your fingertips that is quick and intuitive.
Personally, as a fly fisherman, I was always going to the USGS site and other apps to look at river levels, which often had issues or bugs to contend with. So, as a web developer I created my own, and built a notification system so I wouldn't have to check in to see what level the river was at, in a way, the river would tell me instead.
In building this site I came to realize a lot of other people can benefit form this type of service; not only other fisherman, but also people who live in flood prone areas, or people who regularly use the rivers and waterways in the USA for recreational activities. With that being said, and as stated below, please do not take our services as official or reliable, this site is just a website I cooked up as a matter of convenience and a way to help people.
Additionally, in creating this website and app, my full intention is to prvide a free service with no advertising. Despite, our notification service that sends email and/or SMS does incur third party regulatory fees to transmit data on our part. Therefore, we have no choice but to charge a fee for registered users who want this service. Otherwise, we will do our best effort to maintain a free service with no advertising.
