Monitoring stage and streamflow at these gaging stations, located at points along streams and lakes throughout the State, can tell boaters and other water sports enthusiasts using the river when conditions are favorable or unsafe. Instantaneous gage - height (stage) and discharge (streamflow) data are processed every 6 hours and more frequently during floods for each station. EXPLANATION 9A Gaging station —An example of real - time information for these stations is shown in table below. Number is map number used in table below ♦ Gaging station —Real -time information also available from these stations but not shown in table below A Lake gaging station —Lake elevation and inflow and outflow real -time informaton available for twenty -four lakes and reservoirs operated by the USGS and the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, Tulsa District Lake e Internet Fishing on the Kansas River below Bowersock Dam in Lawrence, Kansas.
