RiverLevels 1.0 Screen Shot

The RiverLevels widget provides an easy way to monitor the amount of water flowing in your favorite streams and rivers right from your Dashboard. The RiverLevels widget is of particular interest to whitewater kayakers and canoeists.

Once any United States Geological Survey (USGS) stream-gauge station is selected, it is automatically refreshed to always provide you with the latest graph of the water-level. As of version 1.2 you can choose between two graph styles: discharge in cubic feet per second (CFS) and water-height in feet.

This widget is Free software, licensed under the GNU General Public License (GPL) version 3 or later.

Requirements:

  • OS X - 10.4 “Tiger” or later

  • Fixed Leopard (10.5) compatability bug.
  • Added the ability to choose Gauge Height (ft) in addition to discharge (CFS).

1.1 (2007-01-08)

  • Fixed graphs extending off bottom of widget
  • Fixed invisibility of front refresh icon

Update: A new version is available that fixes a corrupted archive in version 1.2.

    Just tried River Levels 1.2. It starts then quits right away. I am on a MacBook running 10.5.1

    River Levels is one of my favorite widgets ever. I was waiting for you to update it for Leopard. I downloaded it today and it’s still not there yet, although you’ve updated it. Maybe one more bug…

    Thanks for the bug reports. The Widget is working fine on my system (10.5.1 on MacBook Pro) in the Dashboard, DashCode, and Safari. If anyone who is having a problem can open the widget in DashCode and let me know what error[s] are occurring, then it will help me make a fix.

    I tried it 3 times on my imac 10.4.11. I can’t get it to do anything. Not seeing a defined widget space or anyway to flip it or seek info

    I downloaded your river levels widget, but could not get it to operate. I’m using an iMac desktop runing system version10.4.11. I’m unable to locate an info button to flip the widget. Is there and earlier pre-Leopard version available?
