These data were captured to assess the precision of the velocity head rod velocity measurement technique as well as the precision and accuracy of velocity-area discharge measurements as compared with rated discharges recorded at permanent gaging stations. For all USGS gage sites the rated discharge and field measurements using the Flowtracker and Price current meters can be obtained from the USGS NWIS database and should be considered as more accurate than the measurements made with the other techniques. As a results, these data are only appropriate to use for evaluating precision and comparative accuracy within the experimental context of this study.
