Description:

This field study was conducted to validate the location of sampling, in cross section and depth, for the Palouse River near Palouse, Washington (17060108); to determine association of total coliform counts with coliform from a fecal source; to collect data for future comparison with routine samples to indicate the randomness and representativeness of routine samples; and to gain experience in conducting stream surveys. Sampling was continuous for a 24-hour period. Hourly samples were collected for dissolved oxygen, pH, alkalinity, conductivity, and nutrients. Bihourly samples were collected at 2 points in the stream cross section for total coliform and fecal coliform analyses.
