#FieldWorkFriday! WGSC & AZWSC installed #Evapotranspiration and #StreamDischarge gages last week to monitor #WatershedRestoration in southcentral #Arizona 💧🌳☀️

Throwback to in-person labs with this cool stream gauge measurements lab 🌊 We were focusing on #hydrology and calculating #streamdischarge of Cottonwood Creek to the Boise River.
Oh things were so different 1 year ago today #labs #geoscience #hydro

Very good example is the "Hazards from #Flooding" unit (serc.carleton.edu/integrate/…). Use data from @USGS & @fema for students to see how #precipitation & #streamdischarge influence flooding & impact humans! #hydrology #STEM #agu19 #agu100 @OfficialNGSS
