The Iowa Flood Center is asking for donations in order to add more stream-stage sensors around Iowa.
These sensors collect real time data about stream height, which is then displayed on the Iowa Flood Information System. This data helps with the monitoring of flood potential in different watersheds.
The Iowa Flood Center has already placed 129 of these sensors around the state. With the help of the donations, they hope to add 100 more.
Read more about the sensors and how to donate here.

About Michael Gallagher
I am originally from outside of Chicago, but I have spent the last five years in Iowa pursuing my education. From 2006-2010 I attended Grinnell College, where I received a B.A. in English. Currently, I am a graduate student in the University of Iowa's journalism department.
In addition to my work for CGRER, I write for the non-profit investigative reporting organization Iowa Watch. Previously, I worked as a freelance writer, primarily contributing to Hoopla (The Gazette's arts and culture publication), and I assistant coached the Grinnell College cross country and track teams for a year.
My interests include writing, running, watching the Chicago Bulls, and . . . environmental news!
