Coupled Real-time Streambank Piezometer and Streamflow Gaging Station
A Fact Sheet describing the results of this study was published in 2012 and is available online at: http://pubs.usgs.gov/fs/2012/3054.
Project Objective:
- Demonstrate the feasibility and utility of including groundwater level and temperature data from shallow streambank piezometers with existing suites of real-time data collected and transmitted at active streamflow gaging stations in varied hydrologic and geologic settings.
Project Benefits:
- Demonstrate the usefulness of real-time groundwater data in a dynamic environment. Data could be used to assist water managers making day-to-day decisions about water use (the impact of nearby groundwater and surface-water withdrawals on streamflow, water depth, and (or) water temperature for example) in a watershed.
- Provide personnel operating streamflow gaging stations with another tool for interpreting streamflow gaging station records when data must be interpolated, such as streamflow under ice cover.
- Provide a long-term groundwater/surface-water data set for future methods development and analysis of groundwater/surface-water interaction.
