ASTM D 5674 Document Information:
Title
Standard Guide for Operation of a Gaging Station
ASTM International
Publication Date:
Feb 15, 1995
Scope:
The guide covers procedures used commonly for the systematic
collection of streamflow information.
Continuous streamflow information is necessary for understanding the
amount and variability of
water for many uses, including water supply, waste dilution,
irrigation, hydropower, and reservoir
design.
The procedures described in this guide are used widely by those
responsible for the collection of
streamflow data, for example, the U.S. Geological Survey, Bureau of
Reclamation, U.S. Army Corps of
Engineers, U.S. Department of Agriculture, Water Survey Canada, and
many state and provincial
agencies. The procedures are generally from internal documents of the
preceding agencies, which
have become the defacto standards used in North America.
It is the responsibility of the user of the guide to determine the
acceptability of a specific
device or procedure to meet operational requirements. Compatibility
between sensors, recorders,
retrieval equipment, and operational systems is necessary, and data
requirements and environmental
operating conditions must be considered in equipment selection.
The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the
standard. The values given in
parentheses are for information only.
This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns,
if any, associated with its
use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to
establish appropriate safety and
health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory
limitations prior to use.
