Water Survey of Canada river and lake gauges near a point, from the MSC GeoMet hydrometric-stations collection. AUTHORITATIVE for “which gauge measures the at ” — these are the official federal hydrometric stations. Returns station number (the id you pass to hydrometric_realtime), station name, province, active/discontinued status, gross drainage area in km2, whether it reports in real time, and coordinates. Example: latitude 43.65, longitude -79.38 for Toronto-area gauges.
