Unless you use RTK type of GPS receivers, the elevations are pretty low
accuracy.
Most water managers want at least an inch of precision and accuracy.
The Great Salt Lake is measured to hundredths of a foot.

I was hoping I could just put a syncpipe in a bag & use the gps for
elevation.
might not last very long or be very accurate.

Hmmm. Many of those monitoring stations have a culvert installed
vertically
to stop wave action.
Not sure if they have a float system or what in the culvert. I have used
ultrasonic sensors to measure water levels in a water tank before.
