@waterbytes: Misreading this is how people lose their cars 👇 This is a gauge board, commonly found at fords where roads cross rivers. It measures water level, not the actual depth of the river. Depth can vary across the channel depending on the riverbed, flow conditions, and changes over time. Understanding the difference between water level and depth is important for flood awareness, river safety, and driving through water safely. #rivers #flooding #hydrology #engineering #driving
