This United States Geological Service (USGS) wireless webcam is a self-sufficient, solar-and-battery powered system. The webcam is located downstream of the USGS stream-gaging station on City Creek near Highland. This station provides continuous monitoring of certain river conditions such as flow and stage. The webcam provides valuable information to the National Weather Service, first-responders, and area residents to evaluate real-time conditions in the creek channel during storms. The visual record of flooding and potential debris flows also provides valuable research data for the USGS. This webcam installation is part of the USGS Multi-Hazards Demonstration Project.Sunday, January 30, 2011
