Summary

As part of a larger study examining stream conditions and the effect of Best Management Practices in the Chesapeake Bay watershed, thirty small streams on the Delmarva Peninsula were instrumented and monitored for gage height (water level), water temperature, and air temperature using Onset HOBO sensors from March to September 2022. In addition, two discrete discharge measurements were made at baseflow at each site. This data release contains four .csv files with time-series for gage height, water temperature, and air temperature for all thirty monitoring locations and a table of discrete discharge measurements and associated field measurement metadata: Delmarva_2022_Continuous_Air_Temperature.csv Delmarva_2022_Continuous_Gage_Height.csv [...]

Purpose

These data were collected as part of a larger field campaign funded by USGS Chesapeake Bay Studies that included water quality, geomorphology and physical habitat, macroinvertebrate, and fish sampling for evaluating the effect of agricultural best management practices on holistic stream health.
