Restoration Demonstration Water Quality Monitoring
On January 11-12, 2018, a total of four automated water samplers were placed along the stream at the beginning and end of each site. The samplers were placed above the visible high water mark approximately 40 to 60 feet upland to reduce potential for floodwaters to disturb the instrument set up. The samplers will be programmed to collect water samples from the creek during a storm event that produces 1 inch or more of precipitation.

On July 13, 2018 the TWRI team collected the first quarterly grab samples along with erosion pin measurements. The ISCOs, also, underwent maintenance and calibration. The demonstration site is ready for the first 1-inch rain event.
