Have you ever wanted to know how much water is running through Mores Creek? The United States Geological Survey (USGS) office provides hourly data on most of the waterways in Idaho. In 2017 we have hit record heights, and was in the top five heights since they started recording 66 years ago. The USGS collects Instantaneous data on multiple streams within the state and updates their site on an hourly basis.
