Wade N. 2011. Water quality monitoring in the Hoover Creek watershed. Iowa Geological Survey Technical Information Series. Herbert Hoover National Historical Site, Iowa
This report documents a follow-up investigation to detect sources and delivery of E. coli bacteria in Hoover Creek. This cooperative project is a continuation of previous projects and involves the National Park Service, Iowa Department of Natural Resources (IDNR) – Watershed Monitoring and Assessment Program, the University of Iowa Hygienic Lab (UHL), and the United States Geological Survey (USGS). The goal of the previous monitoring efforts was to characterize the biological, chemical, and physical health of the stream. Previous project objectives included: • Monitor and characterize patterns in bacteria, nutrient, and total suspended solids concentrations within the creek • Measure temperature, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity to establish baseline water quality conditions • Determine nutrient and bacteria pollution Loads • Determine the sources of bacteria in the watershed • Characterize the biological and physical integrity of Hoover Creek
