Perform field sampling from both land and water, including boat-based reservoir sampling at multiple depths. Collect data for chemical, physical, and biological water quality indicators to support reservoir management decisions. Regularly check and maintain rain gauges within the watershed to corroborate precipitation data with USGS datasets, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of hydrological monitoring. Work collaboratively with watershed operations staff to optimize reservoir functionality, including inflow/outflow monitoring, valve operations, and sediment management strategies to balance water supply and quality. Collect, organize, and analyze environmental data using statistical software, and other tools. Prepare detailed reports and visualizations to inform watershed management strategies and regulatory compliance. Design and implement ecological restoration projects to improve water quality, such as wetland restoration, riparian buffer establishment, and erosion control measures. Ensure compliance with local, state, and federal water quality and environmental regulations. Prepare and submit reports to regulatory agencies as required. Work closely with foresters, ecologists, and reservoir operators to develop integrated strategies for achieving water quality and reservoir management goals. Participate in outreach programs to educate stakeholders about water quality issues and the importance of protecting watershed ecosystems. Investigate and recommend emerging technologies or methodologies for water quality improvement,sediment control, and reservoir operations. Inspect sampling equipment, rain gauges, and other monitoring infrastructure to ensure proper functionality and accuracy.
