Hydrologic technician Kevin Baker collected water samples at the Souris River near Verendrye, North Dakota (USGS streamgage 05120000) in August 2017. The sampling was from a bridge using a bridge board and a DH-95 sampler using equal-width-increment water-quality sampling techniques from a bridge. This method is used for water quality sampling when the river/stream is too deep and or fast for wading. The sampling was for major ions, trace metals, and nutrients.
