    2112 S Canyon Ck 200m U/S from outfall by SSIFWC Project

    Greatly increased flow following torrential rains overnight and today, running over and through the plastic pipe, rendering it useless, so I have used timer and float to measure flow.

    2112 S Canyon Ck 200m U/S from outfall by SSIFWC Project

    Increase in flow from previous week, due to small rain overnight (approx. 1mm). Installed staff gauge, current water level at 5cm above zero. Zero on the gauge is approximately 15cm above maximum depth. Top of gauge (100cm) is approximately 50cm below bottom of cedar log hanging over the creek, which is the top edge of the documented creek profile.
