This involves the measuring of the flow over a range of values and relating the flow to the depth of water at the station. The depth will be monitored and recorded continuously, with data downloaded by us on a regular basis.

The Friends of French Creek Conservation Society was most pleased to receive a cheque from the Coastal Community Credit Union for over $1300.00 Several of the branches put aside $1 per customer who changed from paper statements to electronic ones. They scouted around for a local hard working group and WE WON!! Yay!
