Gulf Coast Gauges

Put a live gauge on your website

Free, for any of 191 Harris County stream gauges

Neighbourhood associations, MUDs, civic clubs, schools and local news sites can show the latest reading from the gauge nearest them. The card shows the water surface elevation, the distance to top of bank, the last 7 days and the time of the reading, and updates every 15 minutes. It reports readings only: no forecast, and nothing about whether a road or property is safe.

3. Copy the HTML into your page

Most site builders (WordPress, Wix, Squarespace, Google Sites) accept this in an "HTML", "Embed" or "Custom code" block. The card is 340 by 196 pixels and narrows to fit a phone. Keep the line of text under it: it tells your visitors where the reading comes from.
