Water Monitoring in Lewis and Clark County

Posted on behalf of Jennifer McBroom, Lake Helena Watershed Group Coordinator

The Lake Helena Watershed has formed a volunteer monitoring group and is expecting to go out in August for their first sampling event. Some of the creeks that the monitoring group will sample are, Skelly Gulch, Lump Gulch, Jennies Fork and the Middle Fork Warm Springs Creek. We are sampling for nutrients and total recoverable metals such as Zinc, Silver, and Arsenic. We will also use our YSI meters to measure pH, DO, temperature, and specific conductance. Wish us well, because we also measuring discharge with our yard stick and tennis balls! We will keep you informed of our progress!

Thanks,
Jennifer
