| 摘要： | On June 29, a quiet ceremony marked the end of an era as Art Denkmann, 81, the last manual Mississippi River gage-reader, was presented with a certificate of appreciation by the St. Louis Engineer District's water control team for 56 years of faithful service. "We became dinosaurs," Denkmann told The Waterways Journal. "I was the last one that did a visual verification on a daily basis." The manual gage readers are being replaced by the electronic data collection platform (DCP) system. This system can provide a reading every 15 minutes and the data will be sent via satellite telemetry, with the numbers updated online. The system began to be installed in the 1990s. |
