The tool that researchers would MOST likely use to gather data on the amount of fresh water entering the lagoon from the incoming stream is:

a stream gauging system because it will detect flow volume

This is the most appropriate choice as it directly measures the volume of water flowing into the lagoon, which is essential for understanding the input of fresh water.
