MonitoringLocationIdentifier ARS-IDUSR-IDUSRDC
MonitoringLocationName IDUSRDC
MonitoringLocationDescriptionText IDUSRDC is an irrigation return flow monitoring station on Deep Creek, a tributary of the Snake River that receives seasonal irrigation return flow and continuous flow from subsurface drainage within the Twin Falls Irrigation Tract, which is managed by the Twin Falls Canal Company (TFCC) in the Upper Snake Rock watershed. Water stage at a rated section is automatically recorded by a data logger operated by the ARS. The ARS automatically collects time-composite (5 h interval) water quality samples weekly during the irrigation season, and manually collects water quality samples weekly during the winter. Water and air temperatures and gage height are manually recorded weekly all year. The actual drainage area may vary due to the area encompassing the irrigation supply and irrigation return flow paths that may not correspond with the DEM.
