Slide 21 of 26

Notes:

Data collected at gaging stations are used to meet both current and long-term needs. For example, gages around the Chesapeake Bay are used to quantify freshwater inflow and to compute pollutant loadings. Likewise, gages located along major streams are often used for input to flood-warning models.
