Here are the features of AmericanWhitewater.org available to registered visitors

Whitewater Gages - Not only will a paddler be able to instantly view which streams are runnable with the levels defined by the paddlers who truly know them the best - the nationwide network of volunteer StreamKeepers, but registered boaters won't even have to visit the AW web site to keep up with the flows on their favorite streams. AW's exclusive river gage email delivery service will deliver the river gages you specify - on the days and time you ask. AW's partnership and technical integration with the USGS (United States Geological Survey) allows AmericanWhitewater.org site visitors unprecedented access to the specific online wwstream gages. Plus, thanks to the StreamKeepers the new AmericanWhitewater.org site will soon have the unique ability to collect reports for many streams whose flow can only be gauged with the eyes of a wwpaddler.

AW River Alerts - Information and bulletins on the whitewater streams in your state or region will be automatically issued from American Whitewater staff and volunteers across the country. News on river access, conservation, safety, and event information will be delivered as it happens.

Custom AW Home Page - When you register you automatically will obtain your own customizable home page. Specify river gages and web links to add to your home page. If you input your zip code you can also obtain up to date weather information for your area.

WebUpdates - Will keep you informed about new website features as they are added In the coming months we plan on adding many more features including wireless gage reports, expanded AWJournal section, comprehensive whitewater rapids photo and video database, expanded search capabilities, more home page customization, a comprehensive wwgear,guides and services directory, and much more.

InFlow Forum - Registered viewers will be able to post to the new AW message board where those with opinions about whitewater related topics are welcome and "trolls" (someone who creates anger and outrage for sport) are not. This is also a place to post ideas that will help the staff and board of American Whitewater do a better job for you and the sport we all love. Please join the discussion and make the new Inflow Forum the whitewater paddler's virtual campfire by the river.
