A stream gauge, streamgage or stream gauging station is a location used by hydrologists or environmental scientists to monitor and test terrestrial bodies of water. Hydrometric measurements of water level surface elevation (" stage ") and/or volumetric discharge (flow) are generally taken and observations of biota and water quality may also be ...
A version of the NHD called the NHDPlus is integrated with elevation and other landscape data to create detailed drainage catchments and flow volume and velocity estimates for streams and rivers of the U.S. at 1:100,000-scale. This data is available from the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
The river is expected to rise to more than 20 feet as measured at the gauge in Montague by mid-day Tuesday. Flood stage at that gauge site is 25 feet, however low-lying areas and islands within ...
The Embudo Stream Gauging Station is a stream gauge established in 1888 as the United States Geologic Survey's first training center for hydrographers.The station, near the town of Embudo along the Rio Grande in northern New Mexico, was used to develop tools and techniques for measuring stream flow in the arid, western United States.
This is a list of rivers in the continental United States by average discharge (streamflow) in cubic feet per second. All rivers with average discharge more than 15,000 cubic feet per second are listed.
In fiscal year 2008, the USGS provided 35% of the funding for everyday operation and maintenance of gauges. [8] Additionally, USGS uses hydrographs to study streamflow in rivers. A hydrograph is a chart showing, most often, river stage (height of the water above an arbitrary altitude) and streamflow (amount of water, usually in cubic feet per ...
Researchers examined where California has gauges measuring the flow of rivers and streams. They found many streams are unmonitored. Only 8% of California rivers and streams have gauges measuring ...
The United States Geological Survey ((USGS)) is a publicly available source of remotely sensed hydrological data. Historical and real-time streamflow data are also available via the internet from sources such as the National Weather Service (NWS) and the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). A benefit of using GIS softwares for ...
