Committee seeks donation of current meterThe Mono Lake Committee measures stream flows on creeks throughout the Mono Basin, and weve recently expanded our stream monitoring to include measuring flows in the Mill Creek and Wilson Creek watershed. Various proposals for the use of Mill Creek water require thorough knowledge of what is happening hydrologically. To achieve accuracy in our monitoring efforts, we are looking for a device known as a current meter or pygmy meter, which is used to accurately measure the velocity of water in streams. If you are able to donate a used (or new) pygmy meter in good condition, we could put it to good use! New meters cost $1000-2000. Wed be more than happy to accept donations toward the cost of purchasing one, should we not find a willing donor. Please contact Heidi Hopkins or Greg Reis (
