Coal Creek (COL006)

Hydrometric data are taken at Coal Creek (COL006) at the bridge along Park Avenue as part of the Elk River Alliance's Community-based Water Monitoring program (CBWM). This site is operated in partnership with the City of Fernie, who installed the level logger at this site in 2020. ERA began hydrometric measurements in 2023, as part of the Elk River Monitoring Collaborative as well as the Living Lakes Canada 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.
