Trail camera image used for monitoring stream flow, looking upstream towards a culvert along 01456100 Hatchery Brook at Hackettstown, New Jersey. Many cameras have been placed in urban streams to better understand the changing conditions.

USGS Trail Camera and air Tidbit temperature shelter attached to a tree looking facing downstream on Trout Brook at Grand Ave near Hackettstown, New Jersey. Having both sensors allows for quick identification of on-site conditions during temperature anomalies.

The automatic bacteria analyzer is positioned in line with the continuous water quality monitor onsite, allowing for the simultaneous collection of field readings during automatic bacteria analyzer samples.

This USGS map shows the number of PFAS detected in tap water samples from select sites across the nation. The findings are based on a USGS study of samples taken between 2016 and 2021 from private and public supplies at 716 locations. The map does not represent the only locations in the U.S. with PFAS.

The map overview highlights the three basins involved in the monitoring project across southern New Jersey. The USGS gages listed are the nearest telemetry stations recording tidal elevation, specific conductance, and water temperature.

An example of a Maurice River longitudinal profile survey on 6/30/2022. The average specific conductivity is shown at each cross-section. The transects help demonstrate the relationship between specific conductivity and distance upstream from the mouth of the Maurice River.
