The BCWD Weather Station Monitoring Program was initiated in the spring of 2011 and has been in operation since 2012. Each season the weather station is installed on top of the vegetated berm at the Stillwater Public Works Facility and collects the following data: precipitation, air temperature, relative humidity, dew point, solar radiation, wind speed, gust speed, and wind direction. The weather station is programmed to collect data from spring through fall of each season and is removed during the winter months. This information is being collected to support a variety of District programs such as hydrologic and hydraulic model upgrades and calibration (which require 15-minute precipitation data), thermal modeling efforts, and other projects including the Settlers Glen iron-enhanced sand filter, THPP, and the Biological Monitoring Program. The weather station data is also routinely shared with the Washington Conservation District (WCD).
