Early spring in Texas means chilly mornings, budding trees, emerging wildflowers and warm afternoons — and some of Texas’ most idyllic conditions for fieldwork. Recently the Texas Water Resources Institute (TWRI) water quality monitoring team headed to East Texas to conduct routine water quality monitoring at Town Creek.
The team included Research Specialist Shalynne Postma, Student Technician Darynne Jester and Communications Specialist Cameron Castilaw.
They performed routine data collection, measuring flow rate, pH, velocity and other instream conditions, and collecting water samples to check for E. Coli.
