The 319 grant awarded to the River Raisin Watershed Council by the Department of Environmental Quality calls for tasks to be completed by different stakeholders during the development of the watershed management plan. One section of the plan development requires hydrologic monitoring to take place for the assessment of river conditions. Nancy Smith, a member of the Steering Committee for the River Raisin Watershed Management Plan, has agreed to monitor stream flow and water level fluctuations in fulfillment of this section of the grant. A staff gauge was installed in Evan’s Creek behind Smith’s house in July and she will be responsible for recording and reporting any change in water levels.
