Stage recorder battery change

Early autumn is a good season for the annual change of the batteries in the Kadec stage recorders (main river and tributary sites). Cold winter temperatures are hard on batteries, but this way we enter the winter season with fresh batteries. I also did the bi-monthly download of the Hobo stage recorder, which acts as a back-up stage recorder on the main river. Again, very close agreement between the two stage recording systems which is always very reassuring (upper hydrograph). The lower recent hydrograph data shows mainly low flow conditions from late September into October.
