Description:

This report aims to review the currently available technologies for measuring water levels, to assess their associated errors, and provide a methodology for a first-order approximation of uncertainty. This methodology accounts for instrument measurement errors as well as those related to survey technology and geodetic control. By quantifying uncertainty, partner water level observations can be evaluated for suitability based on specific application requirements.
