The CBWMF is a coordinated monitoring network that tracks how climate change and other impacts are affecting water supply for communities and ecosystems across the Canadian Columbia Basin region. This watershed was selected for monitoring as it is a source of drinking water and fish habitat, both identified as key priorities by the Lower Columbia-Kootenay Local Reference Group. This site was selected for monitoring to inform flood preparedness measures in nearby populated areas. This stream was monitored by the Water Survey of Canada from 1930 to 1969, allowing for comparison of historic and current data.
