Logan River Observatory expands gauges, telemetry and tracer studies to give managers more real‑time data

Beth Nielsen of the Logan River Observatory described new gauging stations, telemetry repeaters, USGS partnerships and tracer studies that improve understanding of flows and subsurface connectivity across the Logan and Bear River tributaries.
Beth Nielsen, co‑director of the Logan River Observatory, told the Bear River Watershed Council the observatory has expanded flow and water‑quality monitoring across the Logan River watershed and into adjacent tributaries to provide real‑time data for researchers and water managers.
