This video provides best practices for documenting index-velocity equipment servicing and overall use of SWAMI at index-velocity stations.

"Citizen Science in Grand Canyon" is a 7min video that describes the ecology of the highly regulated Colorado River in Grand Canyon, and how a citizen science project is creating a deeper understanding of this unique ecosystem.

In this webinar, Phil Mote from Oregon State University, describes a project that integrates, for the first time, state-of-the-science predictive modeling of these different attributes of the future environment in the Northwest, and will provide coherence and guidance for many scientific studies seeking to work out the details of how climate change will affect vario

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.

This video shows how to use the Sensor Quick Entry feature (SensorQE) in SWAMI.

This video shows how to use SWAMI to document a large number of individual discharge measurements made during a tidal cycle that are part of a single site visit.

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 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.

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

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 shows how to document a gage height of zero flow (GZF) inspection.

This video shows how to document high-water marks.

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

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

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

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.
