I used to have a site for water levels bookmarked, but I'm not seeing
it. I did find this that might be helpful:

https://waterdata.usgs.gov/state/Iowa/#dataTypes=00060

If the discharge is high in an area, that might be indicative.

Or there's always the NWS: https://www.weather.gov/dvn/river_levels
