STREAM MONITORING ON THE UPPER J

We will soon have a complete monitoring capability on the upper Little Juniata River. Thanks to the Susquehanna River Basin Commission and landowners Andrew and Jessica Walker, the equipment was installed on the river on Jan. 15th. We look forward to having nearly real-time readings of water temperature, pH, flow, turbidity and dissolved oxygen. We thank SRBC, Dawn Hintz and her crew for getting this done in a very timely manner. The link to this information will be on the website.
