The Lotic Volunteer Temperature, Electrical
Conductivity, and Stage Sensing Network

A LoVoTECS Newsletter

by Mark Green
Welcome to our newsletter! This is the first in what will become quarterly updates about the happenings in our Lotic Volunteer Temperature, Electrical Conductivity, and Stage Sensing network (LoVoTECS). We will use this forum to update our partners on activities within the network and provide statewide syntheses of the the data you are collecting. But first, a little bit about who we are. LoVoTECS is funded by the National Science Foundation through a cooperative agreement to the New Hampshire Experimental Program to Stimulate Competitive Research (EPSCoR) program. The network is being coordinated by a group of researchers, staff, and students at Plymouth State University – and implemented by our broad group of partners, including educators, researchers, government agencies, non-profit organizations, and citizen scientists. Our goal is to improve our understanding of New Hampshire’s water resources and help develop a technically advanced workforce by providing educational opportunities to interact with large data sets. We will accomplish this by building a state-of-the-art, broad scale and high-frequency hydrologic sensing network using simple sensors operated by a diverse group of partners. We are grateful for your collaboration and are excited to improve hydrologic knowledge and scientific training in New Hampshire.

Mark is an Assistant Professor of Hydrology at Plymouth State University’s Center for the Environment.

September K-12 Teacher Workshop

of data, and an overview of the research scope of the LoVoTECS project. by Doug Earick

Teacher Workshop:
In attendance were seven middle school / high school
Doug Earick, Errin Volitis, Sandy Amborn, and Ash- teachers and two college-level instructors, each having ley Hyde took part in a hands-on LoVoTECS teacher volunteered to have themselves and their classes involved workshop on Saturday, September 22 at Prospect Moun- in the project through the collection of data at their tain High School in Alton. The workshop was the first of respective school sites. Schools from Pittsburg, Keene, a series of training sessions for teacher volunteers involved Prospect Mountain, Plainfield, Dover, and Newport were in the program, and included instruction in the set-up represented, as well as New England College and Great and use of water quality sensors, analysis and application Bay Community College.

at a 15-minute interval during the winter months and well into May of 2013. Providing safe access and weather conditions, volunteers will continue to visit their sites monthly; although field measurements and data downloading may not be possible volunteers will make a visual check that their loggers are secure. While logger security and data collection is very important to us, volunteer safety is our highest priority. In locations where it is impractical to secure the loggers, they will be removed and stored until conditions allow for reinstallation.

Network Growth

by Errin Volitis
With the last leaves hanging delicately to the trees and the impending first statewide blanket of snow we have concluded our sensor installation for the year. To date, the sensor network is 90 percent installed with the remaining sites being of two categories; large river sites requiring specialized housing or specific strategic geographic locations for the statewide network.

Although we are no longer recruiting for volunteers to host sensors in local streams and rivers, we still have opportunities for becoming involved in the program. Along with the collection of the stream sensor data we have a pilot project to monitor electrical conductance of precipitation statewide. A few weeks ago, Ashley Hyde and I placed simple rain gauges in our own back yards and tried a variety of rain collectors to test methods for statewide use. We aim to have 10 to 12 precipitation sites statewide; the collected data will be used to understand the electrical conductivity of precipitation in the State, which

will help us interpret the stream and river data that is Current sensor locations around New Hampshire and four sites in the already being collected. Please contact us for additional Plum Island Ecosystem Long Term Ecological Research site in Mas-

Data from September

When we calculate median water temperature and specific conductivity for sensors in September, the following picture appears. We are going to be making such comparisons to understand how different rivers and streams compare and why they are different. This is vital to being able to understand baseline function of streams in the State, and then understand human impacts. by Mark Green
Data have been piling up as the network grows, and so we have been busy doing quality assurance checks and developing ways to analyze so much data. We will be sending you summaries of your individual sites and using this newsletter to provide comparisons of sites around the State.

Median Water Temperature (°C)

Median water temperature and specific conductance for LoVoTECS sites during September 2012. The three-letter codes are site identifiers. The data identify a general pattern of increasing specific conductance with increasing water temperature. There appear to be three corners to the data cloud: the yellow area is a storm sewer in Keene (as warm and polluted we might see in the flowing waters of NH), the blue area represents outlets from lakes, and the grey area is forested mountain streams. These data are preliminary.

    Stream Crossings Like Habitat Connectivity, Streams Require Continuity to Support the Movement of Aquatic Organisms

    MANAGING STATE LANDS FOR WILDLIFE Stream Crossings Like habitat connectivity, streams require continuity to support the movement of aquatic organisms. Many species need different habitats for feeding, breeding, and shelter. The ability to move up or down stream is required for the natural dispersal of individuals. Disruption of stream continuity can result in the loss and degradation of habitat, block wildlife movement, and disrupt the ecological processes that occur in streams over time. Intersections of streams and roads—or stream crossings—have been historically designed to pass water under a road without consideration of stream continuity. Flow variability, natural sediment transport, and aquatic organism passage are overlooked. Characteristic problems of culverts include undersized, shallow, or perched crossings resulting in low or high flow, unnatural bed materials, scouring, erosion, clogging, and ponding. Bridges generally have a lesser impact on streams but, if improperly designed, can still result in sediment deposition and/or streambed degradation. Good stream crossing for wildlife are also good for people. Proper design and placement reduce erosion and damage to roads, infrastructure, and personal property.

Click here for New Hampshire’s Stream Crossing Guidelines and related resources from New Hampshire’s Department of Environmental Services. Mascoma WMA (Canaan) This property contained a 15 foot culvert used to cross the 60-80 foot wide Mascoma River that bisects the property. The culvert was installed by the former landowner. The constriction caused by the culvert led to significant riverbank erosion both up and downstream, forced the river to change course, and deterred fish passage.
