Telemetry Ingest and Dataflow for Non-Satellite Data Collection
Wednesday July 17, 2024 3:00pm - 4:50pm CDT
Midway 11
The telemetry ingest dataflow (TID) project is part of the overall NWISmod initiative that is updating internal NWIS systems to meet with current technology. The objectives of the TID project are to provide Water Science-Centers with a centralized method and infrastructure to ingest non-satellite water-data into NWIS (Cellular and machine-to-machine). The goal of the system is to eliminate the burden on Science Centers that use various methods and workarounds to publish non-satellite telemetered data into the NWIS dataflow. This presentation will introduce the TID services and include discussions and examples of field logger setup, connection to the TID service, and modifications in DECAP that will accommodate new data sources.

Field Site Safety Inspections using Field Activity Safety Tracking (FAST)
Wednesday July 17, 2024 3:00pm - 4:50pm CDT
Midway 9
Field Activity Safety Tracking or FAST is a module that lives inside of Site Visit Mobile AQ or SVMAQ. This module can be used to replace paper forms used for Annual Site Safety Inspections. This application will increase compliance with mandatory annual site safety inspections and reduce administrative burden on field staff. Data recorded includes identification and classification of field hazards as well as real time reporting on needed site maintenance. Supervisors and safety staff alike can use data collected using the application to verify inspections are being completed, identify hazards, and even map different types of infrastructure on the landscape such as stilling wells. This application was funded by NOMS and developed by the Integrated Hydrology & Data Science Branch or IHDS in OTWSC in cooperation with the Southeast Region.

What to do after you've measured the "big one": USGS peak-flow data for Hydrologic Technicians
Wednesday July 17, 2024 3:00pm - 4:50pm CDT
Regency Ballroom C
Annual peak streamflow data from USGS streamgages are a critical dataset engineers and hydrologists use for flood frequency analyses that inform bridge designs, floodplain maps, and other projects in and along rivers. Updated Federal guidelines for flood-frequency analysis (Bulletin 17C) were released in 2019, which allow for better use of information published by the USGS, such as censored (greater than or less than) data, and data sources outside of streamgage records, such as historic peaks. In this workshop, attendees will learn how annual peak-flow data are used, what peak flow qualification codes mean and when to use them, what flood information should be included in station descriptions and manuscripts in SIMS, the proper application of “highest since” notes to annual peaks, proper treatment of peak flows at crest-stage gages, and lots of other flood-related facts. An example streamgage will be analyzed with the PeakFQ software to demonstrate application of USGS data to a real-world flood-frequency problem.
