What We Do

Stream Channel Surveying

Precise measurements of the size and shape of stream channels are required to build the hydrologic models that are necessary to evaluate Napa County’s water issues.

 

Surveying Methods

  • Rod and Level Surveying – This conventional method remains very useful in the rugged environments of stream channels.
  • Total Station Surveying – Provides accurate 3D coordinates in electronic format.  Points can be quickly and easily mapped with no data entry.
  • GPS Surveying – Line of sight not required between points.  Provides coordinates in recognized systems in remote areas.
