This book was released on 2004-09-19 with total page 177 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: From warning the public of impending floods to settling legal arguments over water rights, the measurement of streamflow ("streamgaging") plays a vital role in our society. Having good information about how much water is moving through our streams helps provide citizens with drinking water during droughts, control water pollution, and protect wildlife along our stream corridors. The U.S. Geological Survey's (USGS) streamgaging program provides such information to a wide variety of users interested in human safety, recreation, water quality, habitat, industry, agriculture, and other topics. For regional and national scale streamflow information needs, the USGS has created a National Streamflow Information Program (NSIP). In addition to streamgaging, the USGS envisions intensive data collection during floods and droughts, national assessments of streamflow characteristics, enhanced information delivery, and methods development and research. The overall goals of the program are to: meet legal and treaty obligations on interstate and international waters, support flow forecasting; measure river basin outflows, monitor sentinel watersheds for long-term trends in natural flows, and measure flows for water quality needs. But are these the right topics to collect data on? Or is the USGS on the wrong track? In general, the book is supportive of the design and content of NSIP, including its goals and methodology for choosing stream gages for inclusion in the program. It sees the ultimate goal of NSIP as developing the ability to use existing data-gathering sites to generate streamflow information with quantitative confidence limits at any location in the nation. It is just as important to have good measurements during droughts as during floods, and it therefore recommends supporting Natural Resource Conservation Service forecast sites in addition to those of the National Weather Service.

Book excerpt: Since 1889, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) has operated a multipurpose streamgaging network supported primarily by other Federal, State, and local agencies. Streamgaging stations are the monitoring tools used to track the flux of water and associated components in streams and rivers across the Nation. Streamflow data from them are used for planning and decisions related to agriculture, industry, urban water supplies, navigation, riverine and riparian habitat, and flood hazard identification. The principles that have guided this national network are: " Many partners contribute funding for the operation of gaging stations to collaboratively achieve Federal mission goals and the individual goals of the funding agencies." All data are freely available to all partners and the public." USGS operates the network on behalf of all partners to achieve economy and standardization of availability and quality of data. These goals remain appropriate and applicable today. However, the multipurpose streamgaging network needs increased resources and reorientation because of deficiencies in the present network to meet Federal goals, changing instrumentation and communication technology, and new opportunities to integrate our streamflow data with information from other Federal agencies.

This book was released on 2004 with total page 49 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Under NSIP, the database and software systems for receiving and processing streamflow data will move from District-based computers to a centralized multi-server system that takes advantage of the Internet to provide high reliability and economy of scale. Collection and review of the data can occur at locations remote from the locations used for storage and access. The Database System will contain separate components, one each for data collection, review, routing, and archiving, and access. The functions of both data collection and review will be performed at Data Processing Centers, whereas archiving and access functions will be centralized at Data Access Centers, which deliver streamflow information to the public through associated Internet interfaces.
