Stream Station

Stream stations include:

  • Pressure Transducer – logger that takes continuous measurements every 15 minutes of the depth of water in the channel
  • Visual Staff Gauge – visual measurement of the depth of the water in the channel, used for calibration of pressure transducer 
  • Drive Point Piezometer – a type of well that measures the height of the water table just below the stream bed
  • Observation well – installed on the bank roughly 2 meters from stream, measures the height of the water table
