Water Resources of Georgia
Welcome to the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) Web page for the water resources of Georgia; this is your direct link to all kinds of water-resource information. Here you'll find information on Georgia's rivers and streams. You'll also find information about groundwater, water quality, and many other topics. The USGS operates the most extensive satellite network of stream-gaging stations in the state, many of which form the backbone of flood-warning systems.
Webcam at Peachtree Creek
 We now have live webcam video of Peachtree Creek to allow you to view, in real time, current river-stage conditions.
USGS WaterAlert
 The U.S. Geological Survey WaterAlert service sends e-mail or text messages when certain parameters measured by a USGS water-monitoring site exceed user-definable thresholds. You can subscribe to Georgia water-monitoring sites and be alerted when high water hits.
Georgia Water Information Network (GWIN)
 The Georgia Water Information Network is a county-based system that offers water information for thousands of surface-water, groundwater, and water-quality measurement sites in Georgia. Other information includes water-use data and annual hydrologic summaries.
USGS StreaMail
 USGS StreaMail is system for accessing real-time river stage and streamflow from hand-held wireless devices, such as cell phones and Blackberries. All you have to do is send an email or text message to "streamail@usgs.gov" and use a USGS station number in the "Subject" line. In a few minutes you'll get back an email/text message with the most recent stage and streamflow.
