Hydrology of the Tres Arroyos in Malalcahuello, Chile

Discharge measurements

• Water levels at 5 stream gauging stations (natural cross-section) were measured with capacitance water level sensors (Trutrack WT-HR) and a time resolution of 3 - 10 minutes. Water levels at the stream gauging stations were converted to discharge with the help of rating curves.
