Synoptic Monitoring Event on September 18, 2025
for Taughannock Creek under Base Flow conditions
Notes: Event Time = Time of sampling (Eastern Time) at stream mouth (Taughannock Falls); Taughannock Falls (TGF)- Very low rainfall last 2 months; Halseyville Road (TGH)- Period of very low rain; Waterburg Road (TGW)- Water was flowing but slow. Water was shallow, so barely got enough water in my bucket from bridge.; Mecklenburg (TGM)- DROUGHT CONDITIONS; Bolter Creek (TGBCP)- No flow - didn't sample; Depew Road (TGD)- No Flow
