MINNESOTA RIVER BASIN DATA CENTER


Wellner-Hageman Watershed Monitoring Project (WHWMP)



Minor watershed number(s):   29019

The project area is minor watershed 29019, which is located in the Cottonwood River Major Watershed.

The WHWMP is undertaken as a continuation of four years of diagnostic and implementation work in the Wellner-Hageman watershed. The project is administered by the Brown-Nicollet-Cottonwood Water Quality Joint Powers Board, and coordinated by county environmental services, water planning, and environmental health staff from the three counties. The objectives of the WHWMP are to monitor all streams, selected wells and the reservoir to provide a continuous record of water quality and to analyze and compare data from sampling performed from 1992 through 1997.

Surface Water Quality Monitoring

Data Summary Wellner-Hageman Watershed Monitoring Project (WHWMP) includes data from monitoring surface water quality in this minor watershed since 1992. Collection of surface water quality samples occurred from four stream sites and one beach site using grab sampling techniques. Storm events are monitored using automated samplers at two stream sites. Analysis includes conductivity, chloride, dissolved oxygen, pH, orthophosphate, nitrate, nitrite, total coliform, fecal coliform, fecal streptococci, phosphorus, total suspended solids, and chlorophyll a.
