if you're interested in water gauges in tennessee, you should be aware of this thread on boater talk:

http://www.boatertalk.com/forum/BoaterTalk/1554583

apparently the Tellico Gauge is at risk of being shut down:

there is more at risk than just the tellico, however, as the Tellico is used to coordinate many virtual gauges we use to boat many of the awesome creeks and rivers in eastern tennessee.

so please help out and write an email! you can find all the information in one place, here:
