description: Add USGS stream gage data to your QRiS Project
---

The Stream Gage Explorer allows you to add stream gage data to your QRiS project. Stream gage data is provided by the USGS and is available for download from the USGS National Water Information System (NWIS) website.

## Accessing the Stream Gage Explorer

The Stream Gage Explorer is accessed from the Context Node in the Project Tree. To access the Stream Gage Explorer, expand the Context Node in the Project Tree and right-click on the Stream Gages node, then select `Explore Stream Gages`.

## Downloading Stream Gage Data

1. First zoom in to the area of interest in the map view. This sets the extent of the stream gage sites that will be downloaded.

2. Click the `Download Stream Gages` button. This will download the stream gage data from the USGS NWIS website and add the stream gage sites to the map.

3. From the list of stream gage sites, select the stream gage site that you would like to add to the project. The map will zoom to and select the stream gage site from the Stream Gages layer.

4. Set the start and end dates for the stream gage data that you would like to download.

5. Click the `Download Discharge` button to download the stream gage data for the selected site and date range. The discharge data will display in the graphical tab.

The data is automatically saved to the project file. To view previously downloaded stream gage data, simply click on the stream gage from the list of stream gage sites.

## Exporting Stream Gage Data

To export the stream gage data to a CSV file for an individual stream gage, make sure it is selected in the list of stream gage sites, then click the `Export' button. Select the location where you would like to save the CSV file and click `Save`.

## Stream Gage Metadata

To view the metadata for a stream gage, select the stream gage from the list of stream gage sites. The metadata will display in the metadata tab.

The Inputs Node organizes all of the input and contextual data for the QRiS Project. This is includes data that considered as raw, site-level or other contextual layers, including [Surfaces](/software-help/surfaces/), [Areas of Interest Polygons (AOIs)](/software-help/aoi/), [Sample Frames](/software-help/sample-frames/), [Profiles](/software-help/profiles/), and [Cross Sections](/software-help/cross-sections/). Each of these child nodes contain specialized tools for creating, importing and managing their respective layers (refer to the specific documentation data type for more information).

The [Context Node](/software-help/context/) is a special container within the Inputs Node that is used to store user imported vector and raster layers. This node also contains the [Watershed Catchment](/software-help/context/watershed-catchments/) and [Stream Gage](/software-help/context/stream-gage-tool/) tools.
