	Bay Monitoring
		River inputs present a difficult monitoring problem because of the number of streams and rivers discharging to the Bay and the unpredictable nature of storm events and associated river flows.
		The rivers that are being monitored have been selected to capture runoff from as much of the Bay watershed as possible and to obtain the maximum coverage of the range of different sources of runoff to the Bay and its tributary estuaries.
		River input and point source data are shown with a standard scale on Maps 13 and 14 to emphasize the relative magnitude of the loads.

		This unit is located on the Black Warrior River in Alabama and is used to monitor and control the flow of effluent into the river from coal-bed methane gas wells.
		The river flow sensor is a paddle switch which is activated from the hydrostatic pressure produced by water flow.
		The discharge of effluent into the river is controlled at the RTU, with the parameters being input at the base, which are then forwarded to the remote unit.

		From the left, Columbia River at Bonneville Dam' Colorado River at Lees Ferry, Arizona; and the confluence of the Mississippi and Missouri River.
		By sampling a river under these different conditions, the amount of material that passes a station, known as the mass flux of a constituent (expressed as tons per day), can be reliably determined by multiplying the concentration of a constituent by the stream discharge.
		NASQAN stations, shown in figure 2, are located on major tributaries in the four river basins, along the mainstem of rivers where there is a large increase in flow, and upstream and downstream from reservoirs having average residence time greater than one year.

	Stage Data
		This monitor measures the water level (stage) in the Potomac and sends it to ICPRB by wireless remote modem using CDMA technology.
		The stage monitor is funded by the three Washington metropolitan water suppliers including the Washington Aqueduct Division of the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, the Washington Suburban Sanitary Commission, and Fairfax Water.
		Without the USGS gages, the river level measurements would be of little value for drought operations.

		River monitoring is the process of observing and/or measuring different aspects of a river system to tell a story about its health.
		Monitoring the physical characteristics of your river may be the most important type of monitoring you can do.
		Water in rivers and the ocean is constantly on the move, not only through evaporation and the water cycle, and through waves and the running of a river, but within the water column as well.

	RIVER and LAKE
		With synergistic inundation extent measured by remote sensing imagers, radar or optical, the monitoring of both surface level and area has relevance to studies of water-related epidemics such as malaria, cholera, and tuberculosis and to the financial losses and human suffering.
		Different classes of waveform shape are observed over rivers and lakes: ocean-like over very major rivers and lakes, high power quasi-specular returns over still water, much lower power over margins or turbulent surfaces, and, most commonly, snagging-affected waveforms as the altimeter routinely off-ranges close to water.
		The main objective of the ESA River and Lake project is to provide the scientific community with easy-to-use, effective and accurate river and lake height measurements from both ERS and Envisat satellite altimeters.

	Restoring River Flow Enjoys Wide Support
		As the Jan. 9 National Academy of Science report on the Missouri makes abundantly clear, the river’s ecosystem is in serious decline, and action must be taken quickly to reverse that trend.
		The report also stated the obvious: Restoring some semblance of the river’s natural flow is the key ingredient in bringing the Missouri back to health.
		A river that looks and acts more like a river than a ditch would be a much better attraction for fishing, hunting, boating, camping, hiking and a host of other outdoor pursuits.
