Stream Monitoring



The Alliance for Aquatic Resource Monitoring (ALLARM) envisions people who are empowered through science education to participate in decision making about water resources in their local community





CCWA partnered with ALLARM in 2002 - 2006 with monitoring based on a design study. In 2017 Wilbur Wolf Jr., past CCWA President renewed our partnership with ALLARM to start the quarterly Conodoguinet Creek Watershed Snapshot


CCWA started monthly stream monitoring with ALLARM's Cumberland County Stream Team. Monitoring includes the main stem of the Conodoguinet and tributaries that include several Northern shale locations. Parameters tested include Conductivity, Nitrate, and, pH

Conodoguinet Creek Watershed Snapshot: Year 1 Results



The SNAPSHOT is a seasonal one-day testing that sampled the main stem of the Conodoguinet Creek, its Northern Shale Tributaries, and its Southern Limestone Tributaries. Overall 20 sites were sampled throughout the watershed in the first year, which started in Summer 2018


Parameters included Conductivity, Nitrate, Orthophosphate, pH, and Temperature. Snapshot samples show results based on a specific day, which show an overview of the trends in the stream
