About this dataset
We follow the Pacific Streamkeepers Federation water quality protocol as described in https://www.pskf.ca/publications/Module03.pdf for the core parameters of dissolved oxygen, pH, temperature, and turbidity, and sample 3 sites on the creek twice a month. Once a year we also conduct invertebrate surveys following the protocol in https://www.pskf.ca/mod04/index.html
We have also recently added the following:
Fertilizer pollution: test strips to measure nitrate, nitrite, ammonia, and phosphate levels.
Flow and temperature: continuous loggers to give a finer-grained picture of these two parameters over time.
Bacteria: occasional coliform testing when resources are available.
