“[1888 graduate student Frederick Haynes] Newell is purported to be the person responsible for the adoption of the USGS spelling of “gage” instead of “gauge”. Around 1892, Newell reasoned that “gage” was the proper Saxon spelling before the Norman influence added a 'u'…”

“... Several things stand out:
1) the massive flow of the mighty Mississippi and Columbia River systems
2) the paucity of major rivers in the western US, especially the southwestern US, where the only major rivers are the seriously over-tapped Colorado and Rio Grande Rivers
3) the local importance of the Sacramento-San Joaquin Rivers in California, which serve the state’s cities and agricultural regions…”

Have You Ever Wondered What A New Concrete Stilling Well [stream gauge] Looked Like?
--
H/T Roy Socolow, USGS
"While doing research on the USGS stream gaging program for a local presentation, [he] found this beautiful image of a classic stilling well from the Kentucky archives. Intakes and valve stems in perfect condition, hand pump and flush tank ready to fill, no kerosene or funky well water smell, and the clock weights on the Stevens recorder have plenty of travel room. Makes them] think of the good old days climbing down well ladders to “muck out” wells. Many of these “tanks” of instrument shelters still exist with either working intakes or as converted bubble gages. Many others have been decommissioned due to safety issues (falling or confined space hazards). Thanks to the men of the #CCC and #WPA..."
