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 ...
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.
Sope Creek is an 11.6-mile-long (18.7 km) [1] stream located in Cobb County, Georgia, United States. It is a significant tributary of the Chattahoochee River. [2] It was known as Soap Creek during the 19th century. A section of Sope Creek runs through the Chattahoochee River National Recreation Area.
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) maintains many stream gauges along Schoharie Creek. The first station is 1.2 miles (1.9 km) east of Lexington in operation since 1999, had a maximum discharge of 40,500 cubic feet (1,150 m 3 ) per second on August 28, 2011, as Hurricane Irene passed through the area , and a minimum discharge of 4.8 ...
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) maintains two stream gauges along Canajoharie Creek. The upper one, in operation since 1993, is located 10 feet (3.0 m) upstream from the bridge on Mc Ewan Road, and 2.3 miles (3.7 km) southwest of the village of Canajoharie. [25] The lower one is located at the creek's mouth. [26]
The United States Geological Survey (USGS) maintains many stream gauges along the West Branch Delaware River. The station by the Village of Delhi , in operation since 1937, but making daily measurements since November 1996, is located .6 miles (0.97 km) upstream from the bridge on Route 28 , and 1.9 miles (3.1 km) upstream from the confluence ...
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 river flows by Abernethy Island and Moore's Island and by a USGS stream gauge before plunging about 40 feet (12 m) over the falls. [9] [14] At the falls, West Linn is on the left and Oregon City on the right.
