Flow Monitoring Tools Data Collection Platform (DCP, Gage) • 3 hour transmission rate of stage and temperature data • State of the art self-contained bubbler system. • Digital logging system provides for future expansion of water quality parameters. • Easy to use keypad interface
Flow Assessment Tools • GOES DOMSAT LRGS Ecology has installed an LRGS (Local Readout Ground Station) for GOES satellite data retrieval. Data can be transmitted every three hours from Ecology GOES Data Collection Platforms (DCP) and received at Ecology within just a few seconds of transmission.
Continuous Real Time Stream Flow Information Fully automated web reporting. Data updated every three hours.
