May Water Quality Test on San Bernard
Posted on May 22nd, 2021
Please note that these tests were taken before any high water events on the river.
H-GAC Texas Stream Team volunteers, Valroy Maudlin and Denise Wolever, use a test kit to measure the physical and chemical parameters of San Bernard River at two locations every month. Valroy tests off his pier at CR 496, 1.6 miles upstream from the Churchill Bridge. Denise tests off her pier six miles downstream from Churchill Bridge at CR 469. The test reports the pH level, salinity, temperature, dissolved oxygen and turbidity of the water. Two forms are usually shown for comparison as the data collected from two different locations can vary.
May Field Observations:
No flow due to high tide at max and starting down.
Highway 35 flood gage height 2.3 Ft.
River level below bulk head 24 inches.
