Discharge measurements, air temperature, water temperature, and gage height data for select streams in Maryland-Washington, DC-Virginia developed piedmont region (2024)

December 9, 2025

As part of a larger study examining stream conditions and the effect of Best Management Practices in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, thirty small streams in the developed piedmont of Maryland, Washington, DC, and Virginia were instrumented and monitored for gage height (water level), water temperature, and air temperature using Onset HOBO sensors from March to September 2024. In addition, discrete discharge measurements were made at baseflow at each site.
