At Fish Hatchery Spring 23, several springs, both subaqueous and subaerial, discharge to a collection pool. Discharge is measured and recorded on a datalogger every 15 minutes at FH23-Q. Temperature measurements at this site were made using a thermistor placed in a subaerial vent along the southeast side of the pool at FH23-T. Chemical analyses also have been done. Streamflow and chemistry data are available from NWIS, our national data base.

We monitor 2 other springs at the Hot Creek Fish Hatchery: Fish Hatchery Spring AB and Fish Hatchery Spring CD. Learn about and compare data for the three monitoring sites here.
