The federal government should fund the entire cost of a baseline national network of stream gages that measure the " pulse " of the Nation 's surface-water resources . Through the USGS Water Resources Cooperative Program , regional , state , and local governments and appropriate private entities should financially support additional gages that they need for site-specific issues . Images for this chapter were contributed by the Biological Systems Under Stress and Change Consortium , a collaborative initiative among four of the authors ( Maizel , White , Gage , and Osborne ) to integrate information about biological and physical resources in spatially hierarchical information systems in order to better understand interrelationships between natural and human-managed systems . The gaging stations monitor discharge and water quality every 15 minutes , giving continual assessments of the water flow from hundreds of rivers , creeks and streams . The rainfall simulator will first be used to establish baseline data about the hydrology of the site , and runoff will be measured using flumes , stream gages , and soil moisture probes . This hypothesis , Gage argues , provides a plausible neurobiological mechanism for the long-recognized observation that remote memories are often roughly linked according to the time at which they were encoded into our brains , with memories of one event triggering other memories from that same slice of our life . They have not gaged the consequences of such a critical action . Thunderstorms occasionally produce direct runoff to the river , which has a surface drainage area at the gaging station of 108 mi2 . Manufacturer of precision jigs , fixtures , gages and precsion parts , including replacement parts for all types of dies , molds and machin ... After all , is it not better to be possessed of a single whale-boat , or a few sheep pastures ; to live free and indepen dent under the mildest governments , in ahealthy climate , in a land of charity and benevo - lence ; than to be wretched as so many are in Europe , possessing nothing but their industry : tossed from one rough wave to another ; en - gaged either in the most servile labours for the smallest pittance , or fettered with the links of the most irksome dependence , even without the hopes of rising ? Favoring an anti-liberal platform , he dreams of upsetting that balance in his favor , without gaging the horrible consequences that it could trigger . The direct runoff is included in the gaged river discharge and must be subtracted from the total flow in order to arrive at the base flow derived from the springs . ) to make stream gaging a national priority and encourages other federal users , including the Corps of Engineers , Federal Emergency Management Agency , National Weather Service , National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration 's National Estuarine Program , and Environmental Protection Agency to support stream gaging networks . We have developed a new flashiness index based on mean daily flows from U.S. Geological Survey stream gages . We remain concerned that future budget constraints might erode still further the USGS stream gaging network for real time flood prediction . Such is the diversity of power and thinking in Davos.Everyone was riveted by the analyses of Bhabha , Gage , and Greenfield , among others , and by what Kapor said about what Linden Lab is aiming to accomplish . Mr. John Gage , English , stated that the University was now in a situation where it must either teach more or less composition .
