  • Bob Bolton -- measure discharge @ bridge
    • I was measuring on the upstream side of the bridge with the measuring tape strung from one side to the other.
    • note water level above screed stakes in channel:
      • furthest into the channel on the right bank side, upstream 1-1.5m is #1
      • If they are exposed (likely) then measure stage above PT as well as stage immediately up stream of the screed stake.
  • Lily / Bill -- download data from:
    • take pictures at all sites!
    • Radiation site at top of drainage
    • snow temperature site at basin surface water gaging site (& you can turn off the system / disconnect the battery)
    • surface water station
• @ Kougarok
  • if time allows, download data over radio network from Quartz Creek Air field
    • Flag 1 leave radios on full time
