Surface-Water Monitoring Equipment for Hydrological Instruction

这些动手实验练习的重点是当地一个小流域的水文。 新的实验室提供了一个综合的，跨学科的方法，强调学生直接参与水文数据的收集和分析。 从一个熟悉的和可访问的现场数据的使用增加了学生的水文原理和方法的知识，而在同一时间合成他们的生态系统功能和价值的理解。 通过该项目提供的地表水监测设备和记录雨量计用于监测实地所有重大的地表水流入和流出情况。 地表水监测设备包括升级两个现有的测量站和三个新测量仪的监测系统。 记录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。 整个学期反复使用设备和从中产生的数据来研究水文系统的各个组成部分，并开发系统功能的简单模型。 这些修订后的实验室经验可以影响约250名学生在未来5年。

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.
