Temperature Monitoring

The Ted Knott Chapter began to monitor water temperatures in Bronte Creek in 2006. Each spring, several temperature logging devices are installed in sections of Bronte Creek and it's tributaries. These devices record the water temperature throughout the summer, and then are collected in the fall for analysis.

The data collected from these devices will be used to monitor the ongoing health of this ecosystem, and to identify key ground water sources that create the cold water habitat found in this watershed. This data also provides a baseline to be used for historical reference to monitor changes resulting from development as well as stream rehabilitation projects.
