Hampton Roads Regional Water Quality Monitoring Program
In 2015, the U.S. Geological Survey partnered with the Hampton Roads Sanitation District (HRSD) in cooperation with the Hampton Roads Planning District Commission to implement a water-quality monitoring program in six major cities across the Hampton Roads region. This long-term monitoring program consists of a network of 12 water-quality monitoring stations, 2 per jurisdiction, across the cities...

Checking water depth in stormwater drains, Hampton Roads
Quality assurance is an important aspect of data collection. This means periodically checking the stage measurements for accuracy and making streamflow measurements manually at stormwater monitoring sites across Hampton Roads to compare to those computed from streamflow models.

Non-contact laser doppler velocity meter in a Hampton Roads stormwater pipe
Non-contact laser doppler velocity meters use a laser to measure water velocity throughout a channel's cross-section, while another part of the device is measuring the depth of water. Together the two datasets are used to compute streamflow.
