The program for the evening is “Stream Water Quality as Determined by Indicator Species.”

The TCWC is a 501(c)3 Scientific and Educational, not for profit corporation, that monitors the conditions and water quality in the Tyler Creek Watershed.

Monthly samples of creek water are collected in seven locations in Elgin and checked for several characteristics such as dissolved O2, coliform bacteria and turbidity. These are tests for the chemical and physical qualities of the creek water.

The September program will show how a biological measurement can be used to judge the water quality of a stream. This program is free and open to the public.
