This video outlines the best practices for maintaining and editing information in NWIS SiteVisit when using SWAMI. Editing options for water science centers are explained in detail. Requirements for documenting changes are provided and important considerations are presented.

Ice breakup on March 11, 2014, at the South Fork Grand River near Cash, SD, at USGS station 06356500. The ice breakup causes the water to surge onto the bank.

The hull of the vessel is complete. Burger Boat Co. removes the hull from the construction bay and uses cranes to flip it over. Then, it's taken back to the bay to continue working.

This video shows how to install the SWAMI electronic field form onto a Personal Data Assistant (PDA).

This video shows how to document a mid-section discharge measurement made with mechanical current meters that include the Price AA or pygmy meters.

This video shows how to document a gaging station control inspection.

This video shows how to document high-water marks.

This video shows two methods of uploading SWAMI files into SiteVisit.

This video shows how to document environmental measurements.

This video shows how to document the following sensor types: radar, wire-weight gage, staff gage, reference point, and crest stage gage (CSG). In this example, measuring point elevations for the reference point and crest stage gage are not configured in SiteVisit.

This video shows how to document a discharge measurement that is an estimate.

This video shows how to document a mid-section discharge measurement made with an ADV. The ADV data is imported in the field.

This video shows how to document the following sensor types: float tape, staff gage, electronic tape gage (ETG), and maximum and minimum stage indictator clips.

This video shows how to document the following sensor types: pressure transducer, wire-weight gage, staff gage, reference point, and crest stage gage (CSG). In this example, measuring point elevations for the reference point and crest stage gage are configured in SiteVisit.

This video provides an overview of the miscellaneous information (Misc. Information) task.

This video shows how to document a moving boat ADCP discharge measurement.

This video shows how to document a stilling-well inspection.

This video provides an overview of how to use stylesheets to view SWAMI data.

This video shows how to install the UNIX scripts to create files of gaging stations, stage-discharge rating curves, station sensors, and meters that are required when using SWAMI.

This video shows how to document a discharge measurement made using a flume.

This video shows how to document a volumetric discharge measurement. This volumetric measurement is specific to streamflows small enough to be collected in a single container.
