Water Monitoring

	Stream Flow Monitoring	WET has extensive experience in selecting, installing, and operating several different types of stream gaging systems. This background was achieved by working on gaging networks throughout the continental United States and Alaska. WET has developed wide experience with weirs and flumes, strip chart recorder installations, manometers, digital format devices, reach and cross-sectional surveys, rating curve development, data reduction, and economic considerations.
	Electronic Dataloggers. Self-contained, computerized dataloggers form the core of WET’s approach to water monitoring. We have used solid-state electronics to measure water levels in streams, lakes, and wells. Temperature, precipitation, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, pH, and other environmental parameters can be recorded as well. At predetermined intervals, data are returned from the field and read at WET or at our client’s facilities by a computerized system that transfers digital data electronically. Data reduction is virtually instantaneous. Electronic transfer of data completely eliminates the potential for transcription errors. These monitoring systems can be easily expanded to incorporate real-time data collection and transfer via telemetry.	Monitoring Station
	Monitoring Station Installation	Conventional Monitoring Networks. WET is also experienced with the installation of more conventional water monitoring networks, including the use of flumes, weirs, stilling wells, and strip chart recorders. The computers, digitizers, plotters, and printers utilized by WET’s water resource professionals and word processors accelerate data reduction, interpretation, and write-up for any water monitoring program.
