Hi Mike, I didn't mean to imply they were standard. I think 'standard' depends on the purpose. As I noted, the 5' depth is due to the fact that in a capsize you're going to be in the top 5' of water while you recover, so that's what I was interested in measuring. The 10' is just for fun to see the difference. I think 4" is too shallow to give an accurate picture of what you'll encounter out of the boat, but I may be all wet :). I'm sure the USGS has some standard for their stream guages, but I haven't checked yet.
