Abstract
This study presents a new method of installing non-vented pressure transducers with dataloggers to monitor river/streams stage in mountain areas. The installation was performed in the bedrock of the streams using a protective copper casing, next to streams natural control and without affecting their characteristics since it does not require infrastructure. This allowed the installation of 18 pressure transducers in areas with mining influence, urban and natural protected areas, among others. The results obtained show that the risks of damage to the pressure transducer due to extreme floods or vandalism are significantly reduced, and that it is possible to build temporary monitoring stations using the natural section/channel controls or structure controls in urban environments. The proposed method considerably reduces infrastructure and maintenance costs for stage monitoring, making it feasible to install in mountain rivers and streams with similar characteristics to those presented in this study.
