Dry Summer Allows for Easier Deep Water Measurements
Each year, 糖心直播 (UTRCA) staff survey local rivers and reservoirs using GPS equipment. These surveys help us understand the shape and depth of waterways, which is important for creating accurate flood models and managing water levels.听
This summer鈥檚 dry weather gave our survey team a rare chance to measure areas that are usually too deep. Using a flat-bottomed boat and a long survey pole, staff measured riverbed elevations along stretches of the North Thames River in London, Mitchell Reservoir, and upstream of the St. Marys dam. This information helps us build a better understanding of the water volume contained within our rivers and reservoirs to support flood management.听
