Title: STREAM-GAUGING STATION
Caption: This gauge on San Jose Creek in Goleta, California, has (1) a water-depth sensor (lower left) that detects the amount of water in the stream by its pressure, (2) an instrument shed (upper center) that houses a computer, batteries, and a radio transmitter, and (3) a pole (top center) that has a radio antenna to send water-level data to a government agency and a solar panel to provide power for the instruments.
