Myles Downhour
Myles is a Hydrologic Technician with the USGS Colorado Water Science Center (COWSC), Southeast Colorado Office, in Pueblo, CO
Myles began his career in the USGS Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Water Science Center in Indianapolis, IN in 2014 as a student. In Indiana Myles worked primarily with in-situ water quality and nutrient monitors, using data for sediment and nutrient load modelling in agricultural watersheds to assess BMP’s and bank stabilization projects. After transitioning to the COWSC, Myles has continued his work in sediment, with a focus on suspended sediment sampling and load modelling. In addition to the sediment program, Myles collects and analyzes a wide variety of data for the Pueblo office’s water quality program.

Super Gage Network
What is a Super Gage? A gage at which continuous flow and water level are determined, along with continuous traditional water-quality (water temperature, specific conductance, pH, dissolved oxygen, and/or turbidity) and either of the following criteria: at least one other less-traditional continuous water-quality parameter (orthophosphate, nitrate concentration) and/or where surrogates (developed...
