Detailed Description

Drew Robinson, a USGS hydrological technician, is putting a Rapid Deployment Gauge together for the Georgia Department of Transportation on Wednesday, August 7. He built the RDG and deployed it in Statesboro in the early evening. That RDG was used to help the local community experiencing bad floods on Lotts Creek. Now, local authorities and the publica can tell if the water is rising or falling. 

This gauge was deployed on Lotts Creek at US 25, Near Statesboro, Georgia. Gauge number is 02203040.
