11 Water Monitoring 2017: Benthic Macro-Invertebrates (bugs!)

12 Water Monitoring 2017: Benthic Macro-Invertebrates (bugs!) Millers River Watershed Council, Inc. MRWC Stream BMI Monitoring Program 2017 Summary MRWC visited (3) streams in the late summer of 2017 to add to its BMI program data. Monitoring the bottom dwelling (benthic) aquatic insects of a stream is a useful indicator of stream health. Volunteers were an integral part of this program, particularly in the colection and sorting of samples. MRWC sampled the following (3) streams: o Thousand Acre Brook, Phillipston o Bailey Brook, Gardner o Mill Brook, Athol (6) points on each stream were sampled by a kick method, then samples were sorted by insect type for detailed identification by an aquatic biologist. The type and quanity of each species help to identify the relative health of the stream. Results were: Thousand Acre Brook very good/excellent Bailey brook very good (high iron?) Mill Brook good/very good (for an urban stream) A full report will be prepared over the Winter.

13 Water Monitoring 2017: Temperature/Adopt-a-Stream MRWC 2017 Adopt-a-StreamMonitoring: Weekly Stream Temperature/pH Survey : Waterbodies Sampled June-September, 2017 (East to West) Keyup Brook, Erving Jacks Brook, Erving Briggs Brook, Farley/Erving Moss Brook, Warwick Darling Brook, Warwick West Brook, Athol Mill Brook, Athol Lawrence Brook, Royalston Lower Beaver Brook, S.
