Use this when the user wants to find USGS river or stream gauges (site numbers) by US state and river name, or near a US city or town. Returns up to 25 active gauges with current data, with distance for city searches. Does not accept coordinates and does not return readings; use get_river_conditions for flow and gage height.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| name | No | Words from the river or gauge name, e.g. Arkansas River. Optional filter. | |
| place | No | US city or town with 15,000+ people, e.g. Boulder. Gauges are listed by distance from it. | |
| state | No | US state as a two-letter code or name, e.g. CO. Required unless place is given; with place it picks between same-named cities. | |
| radius_miles | No | Search radius around place in miles, 1 to 50, e.g. 15 (default 15). |

get_river_conditionsGet river conditionsRead-onlyIdempotentInspect
Use this when the user wants current river flow (discharge) or gage height at USGS stream gauges, the 24-hour trend, how today compares with the same date in past years, or a printable condition sheet. Takes 1 to 10 USGS site numbers and 1 to 7 days; returns a PDF and a CSV of readings. Readings are provisional. Does not forecast and is not a flood warning; use find_river_gauges first when the site number is unknown.
| Name | Required | Description | Default |
|---|---|---|---|
| days | No | Days of readings to include, 1 to 7, e.g. 7 (default 7). | |
| paper | No | PDF paper size, e.g. letter (default) or a4. | |
| site_ids | Yes | USGS site numbers to check, e.g. ["01646500","01638500"]. 1 to 10 entries. |
