Detailed Description
Station 01184100 Stony Brook near West Suffield, Connecticut.
Photo shows a stretch of channel that is almost dry. There was such little flow that non-conventional means of discharge measurement was required, instead of wading with a velocity meter in a cross section. We had to set up a flume to measure such a low flow.
