Los registros de caudales procesados en la estación limnimétrica Río Guachal- Pte Palmaseca ubicada inmediatamente aguas arriba del puente de la autopista Yumbo-Palmira durante el periodo de 1977 a 2010 (34 años) reportan los siguientes promedios mensuales con un promedio anual de toda la serie de 11,57 m3/s Los valores medios mensuales en noviembre y diciembre de 2010 fueron 39,97 y 44,08 m3/s respectivamente. El mes más húmedo en todo el registro es 50,61 m3/s reportados en noviembre de 1984.

Selected
gauge
as in gauge station.
Please see ref below for translation from Termium (with explanations).
Basically, the term limnometer or limnimeter exist (again, see below), but I don;t think the are much used. A limnometer is a water level gauge, so in full it would be a "water level gauge station", usually shortened to "gauge station"

I have come back to this question to see if there was any more info from other answers and have seen the ref info provided. I still think limnometric, etc., isn't much used (but might be the safest option if in doubt).
And you would have to specify "water level gauging station" for the term, because gauging stations have different meters for various aspects. (It's Friday, end of very busy week and I'm half asleep! Sorry!)

This link establishes a difference:
Column 5: Nature of the observation site: this is given the following numerical code:
1-Regular gauging station;
2-Limnimetric station only (where water levels are observed regularly but where discharge measurements are not made systematically);
3-Site on the river where no regular observations are made;
4-Representative or experimental basin.
