Plains Gage

Plains Gage refers to a device used to measure water flow or level in a river, stream, or other water body within plains or flat regions. It typically consists of a sensor or float system that detects water height, providing data essential for flood monitoring, water management, and ecological studies. The term can also relate to the specific location or station where such measurements are taken, often used by hydrologists and environmental agencies to track changes in water levels over time. Accurate data from Plains Gages help inform decisions related to agriculture, infrastructure, and disaster preparedness.
