Douglas S. Ott, Terry R. Maret
2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4076
In the late 1990s, Idaho’s established stream temperature criteria for the protection of coldwater biota and salmonid spawning were considered inadequate because the criteria did not agree with observed biological conditions in many instances and did not allow for variability in environmental condition or species diversity across a broad area such as the entire State of Idaho. In...

Levels at streamflow gaging stations--A CD-ROM based training class
K. Michael Nolan, Nathan Jacobson, Robert Erickson, Stanley Landon
2003, Water-Resources Investigations Report 2003-4002
Streamgages record the elevation of the water surface above some reference surface, or datum. This datum is assumed to remain unchanged throughout the life of the gage. However, the elevation of gages and their supporting structures often change over time as a result of earthmovement, floods, ice, and debris. The...
