Real Time Data for Cambridge Reservoir Sites

The CWD in cooperation with the United States Geological Survey has constructed and installed automated monitoring equipment at key reservoirs and streams in the watershed. These stations record water quality data, water elevation and flow, precipitation, and water supply capacity in the reservoirs. There are also automated water sampling devices at these stations that can take samples based on changes in flow or precipitation. The stations upload data on a near-real-time basis to the Internet so that watershed staff can track changes and trends in water quality and quantity. In addition, these stations serve as early warning systems of changes in water quality should anomalous water quality data be displayed. Staff can detect these changes by viewing the data on the Internet and respond by visiting the stations in the field if necessary.
