An outside gage set-up at Quartzville Creek near Cascadia Oregon. Graduated staff plates installed at various heights to capture the range in water levels. Staffs are used to get river level readings hydrologic technicians need to calibrate electronic sensors. The vertical grey metal pipe is a crest stage gage (CSG).
