Instrumentation for measuring and recording streamflow data at river-control structures
Instrument Development Laboratory
1983, Open-File Report 83-872
Instrumentation was developed in the mid to late 60 's to resolve the dilemma of intolerably high percentages of missing streamflow records on certain large and highly controlled streams in industrialized parts of the United States. Analysis of the field situation at specific problem sites quickly suggested that conventional stream...
