dataset_eml_abstractheader

    Establish stream gages on Ranch Brook and West Branch to initiate long-term hydrology and water quality program including: baseline conditions, trends in stream acid/base status, and suspended sediment output. To provide a watershed framework for other VMC efforts including nutrient cycling, forest health assessments, and biological monitoring.
