We have been doing water quality testing so we can know how the creek is doing,
I got the parameter flow rate or stream flow there are two things to flowrate and stream flow so meters per second is how fast the water is moving in meters per second its also spelled m/s, but gallons per second is different its how many gallons are going into the water gal/s, and so far the mid point is the most ok spot in flow rate, it's supposed to be in the fast and slow range so the speed is supposed to be in the middle of fast and slow water.
our creek is doing good
Because the water has enough water to flow and for the fish to swim in the water and live in it. And our data average is 210 gal/s because that's how many gallons are being put into the creek because it was probably raining to cause more water to go into the water as we were doing water quality testing, the other data is PH DO (dissolved oxygen) temperature turbidity and conductivity they are all going good there is enough DO for the fish to breathe, the water ok to see through in turbidity, the water temperature is at a cool 51.3 it looks hot but it's pretty cool, and the and the water is pretty basic at a 6.2 the ok range for fish is 6-9 and the final thing there is not too much suspended solids in the water 117.9 for conductivity.
Why I think our average was 210 Gal/s because it was probably raining and it puts more water into the creek so that's why I think our average was 210 Gal/s.
My data supports my claim because it looks like a lot of water but it’s enough to flow through the whole creek and be at least 5 feet of water.
this was youth summit we did a lot of activity's over at the watershed
we drew some parts of the outlined parts
we did a game to throw a ball into the pipes and the ball represented the salmond and other fish!
this was water quality testing during 2021 and I got flow rate
in this photo i was getting data to see how the creek was doing
this photo was benthic macroinvertebrate examining!
