- $3,500 per gage plus additional access costs if needed
- Includes satellite transmission and real-time reporting online.
- Start 2 days before event, complete 14 days after event.

- Start 2 days before event, complete 14 days after event.
- Post-flood collection and data processing for sensor equipment
- Included in costs above; if USGS deploys, USGS will retrieve.
- Completed 14 days after event (assuming access/water retreat)
