Hydrometric field manual : measurement of stage / authors: Otto Bédard, Gregory Langston, Stephanie Moore.: En37-274/2023E-PDF
"Hydrometric stations are sites at which water level (i.e. stage) data are systematically collected, recorded, and published. Water Survey of Canada reports stage in meters above the operating datum with millimeter precision (e.g. stage = 4.326 m). Stage is used to calculate discharge at most stations; therefore, the accuracy of stage data directly impacts discharge data. Accurate stage measurements are essential to the integrity of the Water Survey of Canada (WSC)’s data. This document provides the standard operating procedures for stage measurement, focusing on both continuous monitoring and discrete measurements"--Introduction.
