Surface-Water Monitoring Equipment for Hydrological Instruction

这些动手实验练习集中在一个小的当地流域的水文学。新的实验室提供了一种综合的、跨学科的方法，强调学生直接参与水文数据的收集和分析。使用来自熟悉和可访问的现场的数据增加了学生对水文原理和方法的知识，同时综合了他们对生态系统功能和价值的理解。本项目提供的地表水监测设备和记录雨量计用于监测所有重要的地表水流入和流出现场。地表水监测设备包括对两个现有监测站和三个新监测站的监测系统进行升级。记录式雨量计提供重要的降雨强度和持续时间数据，这些数据将与地表水数据一起使用。该设备及其产生的数据将在整个学期中反复使用，以研究水文系统的各个组成部分，并建立系统功能的简单模型。这些修改后的实验室经验将在未来5年内影响约250名学生。

These hands-on laboratory exercises focus on the hydrology of a small local watershed. The new laboratories provide an integrated, interdisciplinary approach that emphasizes direct student involvement in the collection and analysis of hydrological data. The use of data from a familiar and accessible field site adds to the student's knowledge of hydrological principles and methods while at the same time synthesizes their understanding of ecosystem function and value. The surface-water monitoring equipment and recording rain gauge provided through this project are used to monitor all significant surface-water inflows and outflows from the field site. The surface-water monitoring equipment includes upgrades for two existing gauging stations and monitoring systems for three new gauges. The recording rain gauge provides important rainfall intensity and duration data that will be used in conjunction with the surface water data. The equipment and the data generated from it are used repeatedly throughout the semester to study various components of the hydrological system and to develop simple models of system function. These revised laboratory experiences can affect about 250 students over the next 5 years.
