SUMMARY:Refundable Sorting
DESCRIPTION:Sorting refundable is one of BWS’s main revenue sources.  That’s how we buy a lot of our monitoring equipment and pay for general operating expenses (like the website).  Lise is amazing at keeping us all organized and tracking exactly what flows through the sorting system.  We welcome new volunteers to join us for laughs\, a quick time commitment\, and yes\, a bit of stickiness–gloves provided.  Contact info@beaufortwater.org for information on where to join us.

SUMMARY:Stream Sampling--All Streams
DESCRIPTION:Our largest monitoring program involves sampling for water quality in 20 creeks\, for 31 weeks each year.  We have three teams\, or ‘Pods” based in Bowser\, Fanny Bay and Royston.  The parameters that we measure include: air and water temperature\, pH\, dissolved oxygen\, specific conductivity\, and turbidity.  On most creeks we also have staff gauges to track water height.  If you are interested in learning more about our stream sampling please email info@beaufortwater.org.  We enjoy taking people out so that they can learn what volunteering for stream sampling involves. \nBowser Pod\n\nMorning:  Chef\, Sandy\, Thames\, Nash (2 sites)\, Hunts\, & Annie (2 sites) Creeks\n\nFanny Bay Pod\n\nMorning:  Tsable\, then upper sites on Cowie\, Apple-Cherry\, Wilfred\, Waterloo\, & Mud Bay Creeks\n\nRoyston Pod\n\nMorning: Trent R\, Bloedel\, Hart\, Hindoo\, Emily\, Spense & Beacon Creeks

SUMMARY:Monthly General Meeting
DESCRIPTION:Our monthly meetings are open to all members and people interested in learning more about the organization.  We sometimes schedule Board-specific time for the meetings. After the business portion of the meeting is concluded\, we have social time with refreshments that each person brings.  While a remarkable amount of board business is covered\, there is a lot of laughter and camaraderie. \nTo obtain a copy of the agenda and monthly reports from Directors and Program Leads\, please email info@beaufortwater.org.  We do have a zoom option\, but in person is much more engaging.

SUMMARY:Flow Monitoring--Transect Wilfred Ck
DESCRIPTION:BWS has sensors installed in several local creeks to record the water level over time. However\, water level alone doesn’t tell us much. Several times a year we perform a transect in each of these creeks. A transect involves measuring the velocity of water at twenty different points in the stream. These velocity measurements\, combined with the depth and width of the creek\, give us a flow rate for that particular time. When we match these flow rates to the level data we can extrapolate flow data for long periods. This tells us how much water flows in spring vs late summer for example. This becomes very useful data. \nMike Mesford runs this monitoring program and would be happy to bring interested people along to see what transects are all about.  Email info@beaufortwater.org to connect with Mike.
