The first step in our process is getting the source data. As the product of a federal agency, USGS data is in the public domain and thus license-compatible with OSM. Alas, USGS doesn't distribute anything like a single GIS file of the gages. Rather, there is an [old school API](https://nwis.waterdata.usgs.gov/nwis/current) that returns CSV tables of stations actively recording given metrics. Not ideal, but workable.

I [published my work](https://github.com/waysidemapping/usgs-to-osm) as open source in the hope that other people could adapt it to their own use cases. I myself have already adapted it to import NOAA's tide gagues and Philadelphia's bikeshare stations. Eventually I'd like to build out a reusable framework and library of third-party datasets to keep in sync with OSM.
