USGS Tells the Story of Their Supergage

Lebanon County Conservation District contributes county funds to a streamgage called a Super Gage operated by the United States Geological Survey (USGS). This project has also received over half a million dollars from PA-NRCS. This gage continuously monitors multiple measures of water quality, including nitrate, which others in the area do not, and posts the data on this website.

USGS recently created a story map that tells the story of the USGS/NRCS Streamgage.
