MonitoringLocationDescriptionText IDUSRRCH is a monitoring station on Rock Creek where it crosses under the High Line Canal as it enters the Twin Falls Irrigation Tract, which is managed by the Twin Falls Canal Company (TFCC), in the Upper Snake Rock watershed. Rock Creek flows seasonally from snow melt, precipication and springs originating in the mountains south of the watershed. Water stage measured at a 10 ft weir is automatically recorded by a data logger operated by the ARS. The ARS manually collects water quality samples and records the water and air temperature and gage height weekly when the creek is flowing. This creek, at this location, does not correspond with a drainage area within the TFIT.
