Short Description of Activity
For the last 5 years the Rogue Broads have been doing water quality testing at sites along the Rogue River Basin. This Summer we sampled from 6 different areas near the Rogue River at Grave Creek and at the mouth of Grave Creek. All samples are tested for e coli standards set by DEQ.

The Summer program was a success! The results of tests performed are documented on an app called, The Swim guide.
