MonitoringLocationName IDUSRNC
MonitoringLocationDescriptionText IDUSRNC is an irrigation return flow monitoring station on N 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 is a tributary to Salmon Falls Creek that only flows during the irrigation season (April-October). Water stage at a 5 ft weir and water temperature is automatically recorded by a data logger operated by the ARS. Weekly during the irrigation season, the ARS manually collects a water quality sample, records the gage height, and records the water and air temperature. 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.
