Water Quality
The watershed council conducts biweekly sampling and analysis of water quality (bacteria, dissolved oxygen, temperature, conductivity, turbidity, pH, and flow) in the Salmon River, Schooner Creek, Devil's Lake, and Drift Creek basins. This data is partially in support of the DEQ process of establishing total maximum daily loads (TMDLS) for Salmon River and Thompson Creek, which have been 303(d) listed for temperature and dissolved oxygen.Maps of SDCWC water quality collection stations
