Slide 26 of 26
The USGS continues to look for new technology that will improve streamflow data collection. For example, the efficient post-mounted gage house show here makes use of newer, smaller pressure transducers and data recorders. Acoustic-doppler technology allows rapid measurement of flow in large rivers. The newly developed Aquacalc automates data collection during current-meter discharge measurements.
We will continue to build upon the legacy started with the Embudo station. We hope to find even more ways to collect and disseminate better data more efficiently without jeopardizing the broad-based impartial data currently found in USGS data bases.
