Methodology

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 became detached from the dam abutment at an unknown date in fall of 2014 and continued to log until the internal storage became full in December 2014. A replacement datalogger was deployed in April of 2015.

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

Maintenance: 

Measurements completed for year
