Abstract

The objective of this project was to develop a rating curve for the Ha Ha Tonka spring, located in Ha Ha Tonka State Park. The rating curve is an empirical relationship between spring discharge and the water level at the stream observation point. An additional goal of the project was to develop an interpretative display to communicate current spring discharge to park visitors. Spring discharge and water level were measured periodically between April 2004 and March 2005. A rating curve was plotted using the collected data. Two possible types of interpretative displays were presented to park visitors. The option preferred by most visitors has been submitted to park staff for approval and implementation.
