Merrimack river discharge

Here is a python script (merrimack_discharge.py) that downloads river discharge based on the USGS station code. The class provides time-dependent dischrge data and a few simple methods for deriving anual statistics. Running the script creates a plot of the historical (for statistics) and recent disharge of the Merrimack river in New England. This was developed for my near-field plume study with Dan Macdonald.

UPDATED: script now includes real-time data from the USGS, and the figure has been updated to look at the recent flood as compared to historical floods.
