Fort Collins Floodwarning Stream Gage Stage & Flow Data
opendata.fcgov.com | Last Updated 31 May 2024Automated readings from the city-wide flood warning system, which is made up in part of stream-flow gages throughout the city. While these data specify flow rates at each gage, extreme care should be taken if using these measurements as flow data; the sensors are not placed ideally for accurate flow measurements and they are not monitored closely enough for this purpose. This is the raw sensor data and analysis would be needed to use for anything but flood monitoring. The real-time map of these values is located at https://gisweb.fcgov.com/HTML5Viewer/Index.html?viewer=Flood%20Warning
This dataset has the following 9 columns:

| Timestamp | timestamp | calendar_date | Timestamp recorded at the sensor for data after 2015; timestamps were recorded at the server prior to that. Duplicate timestamps may exist due to data transfer issues. | 2000-10-02T14:14:47.000 2008-08-31T13:29:57.000 2005-10-26T10:02:08.000 2013-10-15T10:31:32.000 2005-10-31T10:02:07.000 view top 100 |
| Stage (ft) | stage_ft | number | Units: feet. | 0.1 0.0 0.08 0.09 0.11 view top 100 |
| Flow (cfs) | flow_cfs | number | Units: cubic feet per second. The measured flowrate at the sensor. Incorrect data could be due to clogs, freezing, non-functioning sensors, or other issues. | 0.0 0.1 0.2 0.4 0.3 view top 100 |
| meta_row_index | meta_row_index | number | Metadata field for a suggested sort order. Sort this column in ascending order to order the dataset the way it was intended from the source system. | 1 2 3 4 5 view top 100 |
| meta_row_id | meta_row_id | text | Metadata field for record hash. This field is a SHA-1 hash of all other fields in the record, used for validation of record uniqueness. | 66723eed9d5e41f89da3ff1261b9ce6941141405 d550b94b4a10a286f639b75c76ad3baa3665f73a 1a13fa4377f16fc0ecd8670b5b9e579bd16f42a7 9ad49c0af74f51d45f3bc2cb1cab9efc825bffd2 d8a7eeff33906c26dadd14825b29ae31736b8dad view top 100 |
