Can you find them all on the map?
According to the USGS, Stream-gaging consists of the following Streamflow Data:
1. Stage - which is the height of the water surface above a reference elevation.
2. Discharge - the measurement of cross-sectional area and the velocity of the flowing water.
• We use a pgymy meter to measure the velocity of the water. 
A Pgymy meter consists of a spinning set of 'cups' that rotate in the water and spin around to measure the water speed.
Other measurements we make at the streams are for water quality:
pH, Anions, Cations, Nutrients and Dissolved O2. We are interested in the amount and type of ions (ie Ca2+, K+,Na+, Cl-, HCO3-,SO3-)
Find the elements that form these ions on the Periodic Table:
We are off to the Wright Valley to gage the streams there........
