How's the James

Real Time Data & Safety Information
For the James River in Richmond, VA

All river conditions data is collected from USGS monitoring stations at the Westham Gauge (02037500) and Cartersville Gauge (02035000) and analyzed using advanced artificial intelligence algorithms. Our AI system continuously processes real-time sensor data to evaluate weather patterns, predict water conditions, and identify potential safety risks. Water levels, temperature, and flow predictions are updated in real-time and enhanced by machine learning models that account for historical patterns and current meteorological data. This allows us to provide the most accurate safety information for river activities and educate James River enthusiasts about potentially dangerous conditions before they arise. By monitoring our alerts and recommendations, river users can make informed decisions about their activities, helping to prevent accidents and save lives during hazardous conditions. We're committed to protecting both the recreational enjoyment of the James River and the safety of everyone who loves spending time on it.
