MonitoringLocationName IDUSRS2
MonitoringLocationDescriptionText IDUSRS2 is an irrigation return flow monitoring station on S-2 Coulee located on private property within the Twin Falls Irrigation Tract, which is managed by the Twin Falls Canal Company (TFCC), in the Upper Snake Rock watershed. This coulee receives seasonal irrigation return flow and continous subsurface drain flow. Water stage at a 4 ft weir is automatically recorded by a data logger operated by the ARS. The ARS automatically collects flow-composite water quality samples from March-November, and manually collects water quality samples weekly during the winter. Water and air temperature 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.
