Statement
Water quality data was collected using a logging multi-parameter Sonde (Exo-2, YSI, USA) located on site at 692m above sea level under Robson Creek bridge. The sensor is equipped with copper anti-foulant devices and is housed in a stainless-steel enclosure to prevent damage during floods. Checks on the calibration of the Sonde sensors were carried out at least every 6 months.
