This project is an update of water quality monitoring carried out from 2005-2008 for Harrop (also known as Mill) Creek and Narrows Creek. The purpose of the study was to monitor the baseline watershed condition, and assess trends in water quality parameters and hydrometrics related to forest development.

| Data collection info | Water level measurements were recorded for Harrop and Narrows creeks by manual readings of a staff gauge at the water monitoring stations. Stream discharge measurements followed Resource Inventory Committee (RIC) (1998) standard procedures. A strategic grab sampling water quality program (Tables 3 and 4) was implemented to collect seasonal conductivity, turbidity, and total suspended solids data. |
| Data processing | Darcie Quamme of Integrated Ecological Research conducted project management, data analysis and reporting. Burke Phippen of BWP Consulting acted as the quality control monitor and provided comments on the final report. |

| Resource location | Harrop and Narrows creeks are located on the south side of the West Arm of Kootenay Lake east of the city of Nelson, B.C in the community of Harrop-Procter. The headwaters of the creeks are situated in the Nelson Range of the Selkirk Mountains and drain high gradient north-facing slopes reaching elevations of just over 2,300 m down to Kootenay Lake at 530 m. |
