Finding the USGS Station ID
There are two ways to find the data you can either use the USGS Station Finding Site or use google (google is much easier).

To Find on Google

1. Google “USGS Real-Time Water Data (Your Station)” where (Your Station) is the name of the station you want to find ie. Chagrin River.
2. Click the Link to the corresponding USGS site that display the current water level ex: http://waterdata.usgs.gov/oh/nwis/uv?04209000
3. Once you confirm this is the ccorrent site take the 8 diget code from the url just found and plug it into the plugin ie. 04209000 for the example above.
4. Your Done!
