First 'official' transect in the Monument Creek survey.  Interns received training in use of Total Station laser measuring device (left side of photo) and Swofer current meter.  The water level in Monument Creek is very low for this date in early summer, due to low winter snowpack in the headwaters region and long months with little precipitation in the Pikes Peak region in 2018.  Maximum water depth on this transect was 32 cm (11")! Middle channel was stagnant.

Training in use of survey equipment and current meter. Interns ably assume the task of accurate measurement, and soon will produce a stream profile between the constructed embankments that channelize this urban reach of Monument Creek.  

YAY. Training, check. Surveys: under way. 
This photo shows how the 'mentor' contin- 
gent (Cyndy, Matt, Christine) is feeling.
