Repairs at the Breitenbush River streamflow gage
When equipment goes down sometimes you must climb up. This highly skilled technician makes repairs to the rooftop solar panel. This streamflow gage was surrounded by the forest fires in 2020.

Crater Lake, Oregon
Crater Lake on a bright clear day in August 2020. Crater Lake inspires awe. Native Americans witnessed its formation 7,700 years ago, when a violent eruption triggered the collapse of a tall peak. Scientists marvel at its purity—fed by rain and snow, it’s the deepest lake in the USA and one of the most pristine on Earth.

Williamson River below the Sprague River in Chiloquin, OR.This is a view of a USGS surface water stream gage that contains equipment to monitor discharge at the Williamson River below the Sprague Ruver in Chiloquin, Oregon. The gage house contains a historic stilling well and a device that records the level of water. It also has a water temerature sensor and a turbidimeter.
