Faith: We're at the US Geological

Survey stream gauge at Underwood Creek.

Tom: This gauge was very useful and

helpful in terms of the overall stream

restoration design in designing the low

flow channel as well as a flood flow

channel on this site. Do you want to

take a look inside?

Faith: Let's take a look. From this

gauge house that we can take stage and

flow and also collect water quality

samples, this needs to be done

continuously over the course of an

entire year and in the morning, night,

and also on weekends. So it saves us

from having a technician out here all the time.

Tom: From a planning perspective, these

gauges are just critical for us to be

able to help people understand flood

flows and as well as do the modeling

for flood mitigation, and as well as

understanding the variability of flows

on sites and throughout our cities and urban areas.
