This dataset contains hydrometric data for Kelly Creek. This site is part of the Columbia Basin Water Monitoring Framework program (CBWMF). The CBWMF is a coordinated monitoring network that tracks how climate change and other impacts are affecting water supply for communities and ecosystems across the Canadian Columbia Basin region. Kelly Creek is a source of water supply for the Village of Fruitvale. This stream was monitored by the Water Survey of Canada from 1946 to 1951, allowing for comparison of historic and current data. Monitoring at this site increases the coverage of the "Mid elevation, warm-cool, dry, and predominately forested watersheds" (Group LCK 2B) which the 2023 CBWMD Data Gap Analysis of the Lower Columbia-Kootenay Hydrologic Region identified as underrepresented in the pre-existing monitoring network.
