Water Levels for your smart phone


Recommended Posts

An easy way to check the water level on your phone when on the go is simply saving the links below in your smart phones browser favorites.

Recently I was checking the water level via Noaa. Luckily I have a stylus for my phone which helped when selecting the area I wanted to check. (see photo below) That map on a cell phone can be pretty small and hard to navigate through

After looking into some of the website HTML coding on Noaa. I noticed that every time you check the graphs it is the same picture location, just updated throughout the day. Therefore, if you save the graphs image address you can pull the image up anytime and see the most current updated graph per location.

I have the shakopee/chanhsssen area bookmarked so it is easy to see how much water is coming from the mankato area, my Droid isn't very fond of the site though and it can be a pain not selecting nearby creeks though.
