Tuesday 2/2/16 - Stream Observations

Date: Tuesday, 2/2/16 @ 4 PM

Weather Conditions: Very Cloudy and Overcast, 44 degrees F, rained Monday night into Tuesday morning.

Water Quality Observations: Higher turbidity than yesterday - water has a grey/brown color, also expecting water to contain a high salt concentration due to the large amounts of snowmelt.

Stage Behind Weir: Reading 17cm, Water level estimate of (17cm+21cm) = 38cm behind weir

Estimated Flow: 8.2 cfs

Misc. Observations: Grey/Brown color in water
                            Minimal flow from the storm drain outfall
                            No snow present on the grass surrounding the stream
                            LEWAS data error prevented data collection as seen in graph below
