Boulder Creek Millennium Baseline Study

Home Page


In a joint project with the U.S. Geological Survey and the City of Boulder, water quality sampling of Boulder Creek was carried out during high-flow (June 2000) and low-flow (October 2000) to determine natural and human influences on water chemistry and to provide a baseline data set for the new millennium from which future water quality changes can be observed.
