Installing a lake gauge is a simple process that requires a few simple tools. You simply:
1) Attach it to a fixed post, pier, dock or dam
2) Hang the LOCSS sign nearby
3) Reference your gauge to a nearby fixed point. Written instructions are found here.
4) Email the location, photos, and notes about how you referenced the gauge to [email protected]
