ephemeral side channel sample and the highest (32° C.) occurred during the July <br />seasonally inundated wetland sample. Differences in min-max temperatures were greatest <br />in the ephemeral side channel July sample and least in the river channel August sample. <br />The thermometer was lost during the July sample of the river channel. pH ranged from <br />7.98 in the river backwater August sample to 9.14 in the ephemeral side channel July <br />sample. Salinity was at its highest (.12 %) during the July sample of the ephemeral side <br />channel. All other sites had salinities ranging from .01 to .04%. Conductivity ranged <br />from 314 - 753 µmhos with the highest reading recorded in the river channel during July. <br />Turbidity was, in general, lowest in the river backwater and highest in the river channel. <br />Hardness measurements for all habitat types and sample dates were similar ranging from <br />9 - 24 grains/gallon CaCO3. Alkalinity ranged from 8.3 grains/gallon CaCO3 during the <br />June seasonally inundated wetland sample to 19 grains/gallon CaCO3 in the ephemeral <br />side channel July sample. All water chemstry data is presented in Table 6. <br />12
