Next Generation Water Level Measurement System (NGWLMS) Site Design, Preparation, and Installation Manual.

Abstract

The implementation of the NGWLMS in the NWLON and other data collection program networks, represents a fundamental change in how the Branch accomplishes its functions. The NGWLMS, when fully implemented, replaces the predecessor technologies for data collection, data transmission, data quality control, data processing and analysis, data dissemination, and data base management with state-of-the-art systems. This document contains the procedures and guidelines required to establish a standard NGWLMS site. This document focuses mainly on establishing a NGWLMS at existing NWLON locations, however, the procedures and guidelines can be easily adapted to new locations.
