Geocache Description:

USGS Stream Gaging Station

What is a Gaging Station? Gaging stations are facilities used by hydrologists to automatically monitor streams, wells, lakes, canals, reservoirs and or other water bodies. Instruments at these stations collect information such as water height, discharge, water chemistry and water temperature. These stations collect information about the stream and transmit it to the USGS via a satellite communication system. The data is then processed and delivered to the public via the internet.( Imagine using the internet and satellites to accomplish something, like that could ever really happen )

Measurements from these stations are useful for a wide variety flood prediction, water management, recreation and navigation purposes. USGS realizes the public demand for this information and allows anyone to use it.

From the cache site look back at Carter's Creek Station. It's now an antique store but just looking at it will make you feel like you've gone back in time about 70 years. You are looking for magnetic key holder.
