Source: USGS Water Data for the Nation, Instantaneous Values service (parameters 00065 gage height and 00060 discharge). 7-day change compares the newest reading with the first one in the saved 7-day series.

Gage height vs. discharge

Gage height (stage): The water surface level above a fixed point at that gauge, in feet. It is not the depth of the river, and the zero point differs at every station.
Discharge (flow): How much water passes the gauge each second, in cubic feet per second (cfs). Paddlers and anglers usually compare runs by flow.
Why some stations show only one value: Not every gauge measures both. Some report only stage, and tidal or dam-controlled sites may not report discharge.
