[edit] Gage -> gauge

I propose changing the article to "stream gauge" because "gauge" is used throughout the British english-speaking world, and from my experience in most American english-speaking cases too. To illustrate, here are numbers of records brought up by Web of Science searches (which search words in titles or abstracts of articles in peer reviewed journals):

  • "stream gage" = 13
  • "stream gauge" = 21
  • "gage" + "discharge" = 38
  • "gauge" + "discharge" = 226
  • "gage" + ("river" or "channel" or "stream") = 88
  • "gauge" + ("river" or "channel" or "stream") = 802
