Objective(s): To inspect the 4 hydrology stations and 1 meteorology station to ensure they are in working order and download site-specific weather and stream flow data from the stations.
Project Description: The objectives of this four day field survey is to inspect the 4 hydrology stations and 1 meteorology station to ensure they are in working order, repair if required, and download site-specific weather and stream flow data from the stations. Equipment at each hydrostation consists of a datalogger (to record) and a pressure transducer (to detect fluid pressure and produce a signal related to the pressure it has detected. Data from the datalogger will be downloaded during the site visit, and the datalogger and pressure transducer will be repaired, if required. The weather station already has instruments installed to collect site-specific weather data, such as air speed and direction, air temperature and precipitation; however, the automatically stored data needs to be downloaded and routine maintenance performed on the station. There is no new technology associated with the site activities. Letters have been faxed to neighbouring communities, explaining the project and providing a map of the stations. After the field season, a summary of results can be provided to communities, upon request. The fieldwork for this study will be conducted from July 15, 2010 to September 30, 2010.
