Explore the 'Gage Water Levels' page to determine how a user can access station metadata and visualize station locations. Specifically, attempt to download the station metadata as a tab-delineated text file and the Google Earth KML file. Report on the success of these downloads and describe what information is contained in the KML file.

Report whether the KML file download was successful. If the KML download was successful, describe what type of information it contains (e.g., just locations, or additional attributes for each station).
