Methodology

Purpose: 

 

Methods: 

Conductivity and water temperature were measured using a HOBO datalogger suspended inside a perforated PVC attached to the south dam abutment

Specific conductance was calculated using a conductivity assistant in the HOBOware software.

NOTES AND COMMENTS:
The datalogger was deployed on November 30, 2012 with a sampling inteval of 5 minutes. The sampling interval was changed to 15 minutes on December 20, 2012.

FLAGS:
1 -- Datalogger not deployed
2 -- Datalogger malfunction
 

Maintenance: 

Measurements completed for year
