Data collection infoThe turbidity measurements were originally initiated by the then Ministry of Forests in 1993 as part of the work in the West Arm Demonstration Forest. Since 2019, Laird Creek Water Users have been collecting and measuring turbidity and conductivity in water samples from Redfish Creek.
Data processingWhere several measurements were taken in one day, an average of the values is provided
