Chloride levels in streams are important to the health of aquatic life and the quality of our drinking water - and they can change wildly from one day to the next. That's why it's important to know how much chloride is in a stream before events that can cause dangerous spikes.

Wondering what salted roads & sidewalks look like to a #stream? Great visualization thanks to @LEWASLab real-time data. It's been a rough couple of days for anything trying to make a living in #Stroubles Creek.
