Ben Hur Creek Hydrometric Station (MCKBEN01H)

This dataset contains data from a hydrometric station on Ben Hur Creek. The station was previously operated under the Kootenay Watershed Science program and is now part of Living Lakes Canada's 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. This data is collected to enhance understanding and prediction of how small- and medium-sized watersheds respond to a changing climate, particularly during periods of extreme high and low precipitation.
