Summary of Monitoring Objectives:
Our objectives are to collect both water quality and water quantity data from four initial sites on the Ross Fork Creek, including nutrient concentration data, flow rate and temperature, and dissolved oxygen levels. We also want to organize at least one event educating students and community members about our monitoring efforts. We will share our collected data with landowners, MMW and Montana DEQ, as well as State Lands and FWP. The analysis of our data will include evaluation of land use patterns as well as the overall condition of the Ross Fork Creek.
