Training

The HIF currently offers three training courses: Basic Electronics and Troubleshooting Instrumentation, Satellite Data Collection Platform Installation and Operation, and QW Probes Installation, Operation, Calibration, and Maintenance. Each course can accommodate 18 students. Courses provide lectures and "hands-on" experience.

Our classroom facility features two person workbenches with pedestal stools, individual laptops with wireless capability; a ceiling-mounted screen projector; large white dry-erase boards; and a flat screen television/monitor.

HIF training courses are specifically designed to benefit USGS hydrologic technicians and hydrologists who operate streamgages and other automated hydrologic monitoring stations. Non-USGS personnel who work for federal, state, tribal or local agencies whose job duties include hydrologic monitoring may attend HIF training classes on a space-available basis.
