Invertebrate data collected within the greater Fountain Creek Basin, Colorado
Invertebrate, fish, and habitat data were collected as part of a cooperative project that began in 2002 between the U.S. Geological Survey and Colorado Springs Utilities. Other entities have contributed to the project through the years including Colorado Parks and Wildlife and Colorado Springs Stormwater Enterprise. Invertebrate samples were collected and analyzed at 34 sites – 32 sites in the Fountain Creek Basin as well as two sites on the Arkansas River, El Paso and Pueblo Counties, Colorado. The number of sites sampled each year as well as the number of annual visits during which data were collected, and sampling methods used during each visit vary. The invertebrate data were collected between 2005 and 2025 and are intended to be updated annually as new data are collected and available. Users of these data are advised to read all metadata and associated documentation thoroughly to understand appropriate use and data limitations. NOTE: Although previous versions are available from the author, all the records in previous versions can be found in version 6.0.
