River and Stream Flow Monitoring in Washington State

Entry ID: wa_de_riverstreamflow

[ Update this Record ]

Summary

Abstract: The Stream Hydrology Unit (SHU) of Ecology's Environmental Monitoring
and Trends Section provides flow information in support of two
Department of Ecology (Ecology) activities. SHU provides timely and
accurate instantaneous stream flow for various in-stream actions.
These instantaneous stream flows are an integral element in
determining the available in-stream ...

GEOSCIENTIFIC INFORMATION

INLAND WATERS

Quality Current Water Year data provided by the Washington State Department of
Ecology - including stream discharge and water level values are
automatically generated by remote equipment and have not been reviewed
or edited for accuracy. Inaccuracies in the data may be present due
to instrument malfunctions or physical changes to the discharge
measurement sites. End of water year review may result in significant
revisions to the data.

Access Constraints The operation of Ecology stream flow stations falls into three types:
Telemetry, Stand Alone, and Manual Stage Height. The specific type
determines the availability of data for each stream flow station.

Use Constraints None
