    WAG-W-03 by Carolynne Robertson

    Water temp with handheld conductivity metre is 8.4°C.

  • 11 December 2022

    WAG-E-07 by Carolynne Robertson

    Water clear today. Sediment spill recorded yesterday. Water temp with handheld conductivity metre is 8.5°C.

  • 11 December 2022

    WAG-M-03 by Carolynne Robertson

    Water temperature with handheld conductivity metre is 8.4°C. Pipe is discharging wster from nearby rain garden.

    WAG-M-03 by Carolynne Robertson

    Layer of sediment on cobble at fish ladder. Smell of sulphur or phosphates.

  • 11 October 2022

    WAG-M-03 by Carolynne Robertson

    very low flows. Ec is 235 at 15.9. water temp in past was read from EC meter. From now on water temp will be read from instant read digital. Pond has sediment buildup and algae on top.

  • 10 October 2022

    WAG-W-03 by Carolynne Robertson

    Conductivity is 221 at 16.9 celsius. In the past Water temp read from EC meter but it registers higher temp than instant read. Water temp read from digital instant read. From now on will use digital for water temp instead of EC meter.

  • 10 October 2022

    WAG-E-07 by Carolynne Robertson

    very small trickle of water discharging. water very clear. In the past water temp taken from EC meter. Instant read digital registers nearly 1 degree lower, which is believed more accurate. I will use air temp fr digital from now on. Conductivity confirmed by measuring in different spots of pool. EC is 150 at 16.9 celsius.

  • 4 August 2022

    WAG-M-03 by Carolynne Robertson

    very low flows. wetted width about 50%. layer of sediment on cobble. Just taking water sample stirred up sediment in water column. No water discharging from pipe.

    15th Street Storm drain - WAG-E-03 High Priority by Carolynne Robertson

    Foam throughout creek, water brackish, turbid sediment

  • 1 August 2022

    WAG-E-07 by Carolynne Robertson

    small trickle from pipe. low water, iron oxide (?) staining. pool filled in with sediment.

  • 14 July 2022

    15th Street Storm drain - WAG-E-03 High Priority by Carolynne Robertson

    Strong odor of gray water/ soap fragrance. Water is cloudy although main stem of creek is observed to be clear. Will discontinue depth measurements until an instrument can be obtained for accurate measurement. The stick we are using is not long enough. Depth always exceeds 1 metre.

  • 14 July 2022

    WAG-M-03 by Carolynne Robertson

    Pond is now cloudy with sediment visible in water column. Water downstream of fish ladder is clear. Slight smell of sulpher. No discharge from stormpipe from rain garden.

  • 14 July 2022

    WAG-E-07 by Carolynne Robertson

    very low water flow. pool is more filled in with sand. trickle from pipe, then a big flush.
