Understanding how New York measured water flow in the early 1900s
A historical report shows the techniques, stations, and calculations used to track river discharge and water levels. It reveals how engineers gathered data to support canals, dams, and public works, with real examples from Mohawk and Hudson rivers.
This edition presents methods for gaging streams, calculating discharge over weirs and through turbines, and adjusting for ice and velocity of approach. It includes details on co-operative programs with the U.S. Geological Survey and a map of station locations, offering a window into early hydrology and state engineering practice.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.
