This project will collect real-time parameter data for specific conductance, water temperature, pH, dissolved oxygen, turbidity and stream flow at the United States geological Survey (USGS) gaging stations located at Fargo, ND and Grand Forks, ND on the Red River of the North; and publish the data both on the USGS NWIS website and in the USGS Annual Report.
This is a multi-governmental project funded by the Minnesota Pollution Control Agency, the United States Geological Survey, North Dakota Department of Health, the Cities of Fargo, Moorhead, Grand Forks, and East Grand Forks to monitor river flow and condition parameters to gain an improved understanding of the nature of the chemical and physical attributes of the Red River of the North.
This is a joint project between the United States Geological Survey (USGS), Minnesota Pollution Control Agency (MPCA), North Dakota, and Manitoba. The project is a basin-wide, up-to-date water quality trend analysis using the "QWTrend" program for approximately 40 bi-national river sites to review nutrients, total suspended solids, total dissolved solids, sulfate and chloride from 1980 - 2015.
