Bjerkness Creek Hydrometric Station (MCKBJE01H)

This dataset contains hydrometric data from a station on Bjerkness Creek. Originally part of the Kootenay Watershed Science program, the site is now incorporated into Living Lakes Canada's Columbia Basin Water Monitoring Framework (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 station contributes to improving our understanding and predicting the behavior of small- and medium-sized watersheds in response to changing climate conditions, particularly during periods of extreme high and low precipitation.
