It should be possible to modify initial implementation plans if there is a clear indication of additional user requirements. This program provides river stage forecasts for the next 5 days in 6 hourly time steps, and will also provided a probabilistic 90 day forecast of stage, volume, and flow, which are updated monthly. NWS river forecasts are based, to a great extent, on data from USGS stream-gaging stations. The USGS operates most of its streamgages on a cooperative basis with other Federal, state, and local agencies that fund individual gaging stations for agency-specific projects or regulatory needs. Reductions in stream-gaging program funds, due to budget reductions for the USGS or for cooperating agencies, usually require that some stations be discontinued.
