Section 4: Hydrological Instrumentation

Standard Hydrological Instrumentation (including sensor name and model)

Hydrological Variable	Instrumentation Description	Temporal Resolution
Water Level	Stevens A-35 water-level recorder seasonal measurement (June-Sept) during 1967-1977, CS SR50A ranger seasonal measurement (June-Sept) during 2013-present
Discharge Method	Basin discharge measured at gauge (05DA008) maintained by Water Survey of Canada during 1967-1977; a new hydrometric station at "Lake Munro" outlet, about 1.5km upstream to gauge 05DA008, estabilished and maintained by Usask staff from 2013 to present. Discharge estimated from water level - discharge rating curve based on measured discharge by salt dilution (Fathom Scientific AutoSalt) method or Sontek Flowtrack
