- Long abandoned. No update in 3+ years — the top precursor to removal once a vulnerability is found.

Update activity
How busy the existing users are, measured as downloads in the last 30 days for every 1,000 active sites. A spike means a new release everyone's pulling; a long, slow decline means an aging user base that updates less.
Release cadence
No release in a yearHow often this plugin actually ships. A steady rhythm is the maintenance signal a single "last updated" date can't show.

Estimated value
What this plugin might earn a year, and what it might sell for. Modeled from public signals; we don't see anyone's books.
Est. annual revenue
Est. acquisition value
No paid tier is visible, so we don't put a figure on revenue or sale value: that would be guessing. The install base is a real asset to an acquirer, just not one public data lets us price. A small install base leaves thin data to model from.

I am supporting a web site for a National River Trail and I have been looking for an easy way to incorporate USGS Stream Flow data in to the site. This very simple plugin does exactly what I need. Well done sir.

Very handy and easy to look up codes. I wish there were more sensors in our area but we have the big rivers. Thanks a lot

Great plugin! Easy to use and support is very responsive. Plus it mainly pulls styling from the theme so it doesn’t clash with your design. Very nice! [Moderated] Thanks again! [Moderator note: Please don’t embed links in reviews]

Chris, Thanks for the great plugin. Just what I needed. I run a website for the Flathead Valley Chapter of Trout Unlimited and I use this plugin to present local streamflow data to our members and friends in a quick and easy-to-use format. Flathead Valley TU I worked collecting streamflow data of the USGS for more than 30 years and greatly appreciate their dedication in presenting this data to the public. USGS has a great streamflow website, but sometimes pulling up the entire site for a streamgage is a bit of overkill. This plugin boils the data down to just the essentials and allows me to present the data in a format that is both fast and easy to understand. This plugin makes it very easy to access streamflow and stage information for fishing, floating, kayaking and other recreational uses. Thanks again for your work.

At least I better think it is… I am the person who wrote it. I actually just list out the 4 or 5 local places I fish to quickly check out the water and help decide where to head out to that day. Sure beats bookmarking the different USGS Locations and then going to each one individually.
