Project Goals/Objectives: Through this project, routine water quality monitoring will be reinstated in the five watersheds described with a focus on collecting paired flow rate and E. coli concentration data. Data will be collected at five sites (one per watershed) monthly for 30 months. Sampling sites will be the same as the previous Little Brazos Tributaries monitoring project. All sampling procedures, methods, sampling sites, and planned project activity will be fully described in a project quality assurance project plan (QAPP). Sampling will not begin until the project QAPP is approved. Monthly sampling will include field parameters, streamflow measurement, and E. coli grab samples to allow data gaps to be filled thus enabling future water quality assessments and watershed analysis.
