Comparative assessment of STIC sensors, streamflow and rain gauges for quantifying river connectivity in intermittent systems
Cooper, Cienna; Rogosch, Jane; Smith, Nathan; Robertson, Clinton; Wilson, Wade
In intermittent stream systems, including those occurring in Texas, USA, the severity of low-flow conditions, duration of seasonal disconnection, and frequency of no-flow events have been amplified by drought. Documentation of these no-flow events is necessary to evaluate ecosystem health. However, many intermittent reaches remain un-gauged given that perennial river sec-tions are often prioritized for gauge placement. Our objectives were to 1) document stream flow using Stream Temperature, Inte
