USGS Water Data in the Snake and Salt River Basins

Questions to be Considered

WHY ?

USGS History

HOW ?

The basic piece of data collected at gaging stations is Stream Stage

Stage can be sensed using STILLING WELLS

Stage can also be sensed using PRESSURE TRANSDUCERS

Most users of streamflow information need to know stream discharge

Discharge measurements are used to develop rating curves

To maintain ratings, discharge must be measured regularly

Discharge must be measured at all stages

Discharge measurements during high stages are particularly important
