SHEN Fish Monitoring SOP 07: Water chemistry sampling, Version 1.0
Wofford JE and Demarest ED. 2018. SHEN Fish Monitoring SOP 07: Water chemistry sampling, Version 1.0
All water chemistry sampling associated with the macroinvertebrate monitoring program is conducted with Hydrolab® multiparameter water chemistry monitoring units. These units provide rapid and accurate measures of water temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and total dissolved solids. Hydrolab multi-parameter units have five primary components including the multi-sensor unit, data display system, cable, water storage cup, and weighted sensor guard. These units have proven to be rugged and highly reliable in the park’s backcountry where many of the water chemistry measurements are taken. The units are also easy to calibrate and once calibrated, maintain calibration consistency for up to ten days following. Nevertheless, to ensure data quality, the units are calibrated at the beginning of each week during the field season.
