1
00:00:14.120 --> 00:00:17.440
We'll use some of our latest

2
00:00:17.560 --> 00:00:20.200
equipment some of our fanciest
equipment to make a Stream flow

3
00:00:20.200 --> 00:00:24.320
measurement. We call that an a
ADCP or an acoustic Doppler

4
00:00:24.320 --> 00:00:27.200
current profiler that
instrument uses

5
00:00:27.320 --> 00:00:28.920
sound waves

6
00:00:29.040 --> 00:00:34.000
to determine water speed and
it's also tracking or

7
00:00:34.000 --> 00:00:38.000
calculating the channel
geometry for us as we move

8
00:00:38.000 --> 00:00:42.560
along and we use that flow
information to correlate with

9
00:00:42.560 --> 00:00:42.680
the water.

10
00:00:42.680 --> 00:00:48.680
Level information from the
gauge and we use those to

11
00:00:48.680 --> 00:00:54.120
develop a relation or a or a
hydrographic curve to

12
00:00:54.200 --> 00:00:57.680
at any one time be able to tell
you how much water should be

13
00:00:57.680 --> 00:01:00.040
flowing in the river at a
certain water level

14
00:01:00.120 --> 00:01:03.440
streamflow gauges are important
to

15
00:01:03.560 --> 00:01:04.000
many folks.

16
00:01:04.000 --> 00:01:06.320
It can be used for a number of
different reasons.

17
00:01:06.320 --> 00:01:11.560
But primarily it's used for for
engineering studies for

18
00:01:11.560 --> 00:01:13.680
hydrologic analysis.

19
00:01:13.800 --> 00:01:16.040
For Highway departments

20
00:01:16.000 --> 00:01:21.320
for government bodies for flood
frequency and when or if

21
00:01:21.320 --> 00:01:24.560
there's a need for an
evacuation order,

22
00:01:24.680 --> 00:01:27.440
so there's a lot of end users
out there that look for this

23
00:01:27.440 --> 00:01:32.800
data each day and in are glad
that they're able to find it on

24
00:01:32.800 --> 00:01:37.200
the endless web or the USGS web
page for, South Carolina.
