I have just tried the new functionality of being able to have more than one gauge linked to on a given river/reach. Working with reach#2563 (Big Pine Creek, IN), the pre-existing gauge was for the North Fork Vermilion in Illinois (which boaters are used to seeing, and have worked out a good 'rule of thumb' for).

USGS (and AW) added a new gauge on another stream nearby, Little Pine Creek (#45084), so I figured I'd add that to this reach so we could start watching how well it correlates. However, I didn't want to mess up the reporting of the NFVermilion gauge, so I set the Little Pine Creek gauge to 'exclude from river summaries'. However, when I look at the river page, the Little Pine Creek gauge appears to be the one reported. (Both, of course, are appearing on the page when the river/reach description is brought up.)

So . . . why is this not working as I would have expected?

Hmmm. That isn't right. I have multiple gauges on the lower gauley in WV, all are excluded except the one people are used to. When you click on the level you can see all the linked gauges.

I'll see what's up on the piney.

Ok. right now all is good but the last update was to the vermillion. It is showing 236 cfs and little is 23. It shows up in the summary as 236.
