Happy #FlumeFriday ! Recently took a family trip to Santa Cruz and came across this amazing Karst flow coming through a cliff. Check out the sediment separation and scour/deposition patterns, bedforms, jumps and standing waves! @geoMOOREph @ISUWaterChicks @drbillyjbeck

We had a great @ISU_ABE 110 lab "Experiencing Agricultural & Biosystems Engineering" with a sluice gate - hydraulic jump exercise today, examining the Froude number and flow characteristics in the Buss Hydrology Lab #Flume. @FlemJon4 @ISUWaterChicks @LeighAnnLong2 @IIHRUIowa

Great news for #DrainageWaterManagement!! Great work @EcoServeExch @AgriDrainCorp @TetraTech @OhioEPA ! News Release ecoexch.com/wp-content/upl… H20hio Technology Assessment Report ecoexch.com/wp-content/upl… @ISUWaterChicks @ISUAgWaterMgmt @chrishhay @IL_DrainDrop @ISU_ABE

It might be cold outside but it’s toasty warm inside and students in ABE’s Nonpoint Pollution & Control class are getting experience collecting flow measurements in the ABE hydrology lab. ⁦@ISU_ABE⁩ ⁦@FlumeAndy⁩ ⁦@LeighAnnLong2⁩

Can #trees and #tiledrainage coexist? Quantifying #root intrusion for variety of tile types - including new ones we dreamed up! The best tree species, tile, H2O mgmt for saturated riparian #forest buffers? We’ll see! @ISUAgWaterMgmt @FlumeAndy @TylerAGroh @morganpdavisbgc

@NatalieGNelson @anardeeek Totally dependent on budget, time available per visit, what it is you're looking for, measurement environment etc. I would be happy to discuss in detail. ajcraig@iastate.edu.

@ISU_ABE @AgriDrainCorp @ISUWaterChicks

Finishing up flow calibrations @ISU_ABE for @AgriDrainCorp automated water control structures for use in #SaturatedBuffers, #Bioreactors, and #DrainageWaterManagement. We are making the switch from pressure transducers to ultrasonic sensors in a variety of setups.@ISUWaterChicks

@ialearningfarms How long is the webinar tomorrow?

Congrats 🎉to Andy Craig AKA @FlumeAndy 🌊on the successful defense of his PhD dissertation showing that Prairie Strips🌻🐝🦋reduce fecal indicator bacteria🦠! @ISU_ABE @prairiestrips

@ISUWaterChicks @ISU_ABE @prairiestrips @teeniedeenie @ISUAgWaterMgmt Thank you everyone!!!

@drbillyjbeck Should be plenty of soil and debris conveyed soon!

Just in time for spring high flows! Know what the goal is here? Ioway Creek, near Duff, Ames, IA. An attempt to “reduce” #streambank erosion, increase conveyance, or “address” #flooding? OUCH #trees #forests #floodplains #waterquality #hydrology

@IL_DrainDrop Gonna go with... 106 gpm.

Think you’re good at estimating flow rates? Take a guess at this one (in gpm, sorry metric people). Enter your estimate here: forms.gle/QnUgzGrJpmX2Cv… Poll closes this Sunday at 9PM central Closest estimate may win a prize (...which may be a free bioreactor seminar from me)

Happy #FlumeFriday Installing a water control structure inside the @ISU_ABE flume to establish natural gravity flow and flow rating curves for actuated slide gates for @AgriDrainCorp for use in #ControlledDrainage and #SaturatedBuffer practices @ISUWaterChicks
