Abstract: Since August 1998, Cook Inlet Keeper and the Homer Soil and Water Conservation District have been collecting discharge and water quality data from four important salmon streams on the lower Kenai Peninsula: Ninilchik River, Anchor River, Deep Creek, and Stariski Creek. With the loss of funding, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) no longer can maintain the Ninilchik River gauge. Keeper, Homer Soil and Water Conservation District, Ninilchik Traditional Council and others depend on this gauge for the flow data needed to achieve a complete picture of water quality in these watersheds. This project will provide funds for Keeper to contract with USGS to maintain the gauge for one year, during which time long-term funding will be secured.
