<br />Table 1. <br /> <br />Field equipment list for making streamflow measurements <br /> <br />Equipment Description <br />100' Steel Survey tape Stretched between cross section stakes. <br /> (Obtain standard weight of a 1.0 foot section of tape from <br /> manufacturer) <br />Spring Tension Scale Used to measure pounds of tension on steel tape when <br /> stretched between stakes. <br />Tape Clamp Handle Holds tape in tension. <br />Cross Section Stakes Two 24"-36" metal stakes used to maintain tape tension <br /> and to level steel tape. Must be strong enough to be <br /> driven into rocky stream bank. <br />Discharge Wading Rod Used to measure vertical depths from suspended tape to <br />(or. Stadia Rod) stream channel. <br />Level, Tripod, and Stadia Rod Used to level ends of suspended tape and to measure <br /> slope. <br />Current Meter Pygmy, Price AA, Marsh-McBimey or similar devise <br /> used to measure stream velocity. <br />Hand Sledge Hammer Used to drive cross section stakes into stream bank. <br />Staging Pin Used to detect changes in discharge during the streamflow <br /> measurement. <br />100' Fiberglass Tape Used to measure horizontal distance from suspended tape <br /> to water-slope stadia rod readin~s. <br />Field Forms and Clipboard Standardized form to ensure complete set of field data. <br />Miscellaneous Items Camera, film, maps, waders, stopwatch and calculator. <br /> <br />-4- <br />
