Marine Tech Talk Episode 3​5 -​ Managing Waterways along the Suwannee River in Florida

Guests: Tara Rogers, Hydrologic Data Service Chief and Kevin Jones, Hydrologic Survey Technician, Suwannee River Water Management District​ Did you know that the Suwanee River Water Management District is responsible for managing the water supply, water quality, flood protection, and natural systems in a 15-county area of Florida including 13 different river basins, and over 450 springs? They do all of this with a core team of 66 staff members and a variety of hydrologic monitoring equipment from Teledyne RD Instruments. On this episode of the podcast we have an interesting and fun discussion with Tara Rogers and Kevin Jones on the scope of their work, areas of responsibility, challenging operating conditions, and how important the data they collect is to residents and even the National Weather Service.
