| Data collection info | When possible, samples are collected from the thalweg of the stream, at approximately 50% of the water depth. Under hazardous flow or ice conditions, samples are collected from the stream bank, with the technician reaching out as far as possible into the water. |
| Data processing | The Water Hub has performed a preliminary QA/QC protocol on this data but the individual user must still confirm the accuracy of the data and whether it will be appropriate for their purpose. |
