Winters High School × Strawberry Creek Monitoring Group Putah Creek Monitoring Group
Monitoring, studying, and protecting Putah Creek's unique ecosystem.
Welcome
The Putah Creek Monitoring Group was founded in 2026 as a collaboration between Winters High School and UC Berkeley's Strawberry Creek Monitoring Group. Our mission is to monitor, study, and protect Putah Creek's unique ecosystem. Through sensor networks, hands-on environmental research, anomaly detection models, and community outreach, we collect and share data that helps raise awareness, inform conservation efforts, and inspire environmental stewardship.
Our Works
What we build, run, and teach.
Off Grid Sensor Deployment
- We develop low-cost, off-grid environmental monitoring solutions using open-source hardware and software.
- We deployed the first publicly accessible temperature and electrical conductivity sensors in Putah Creek.
- These sensor stations are modular and can easily be expanded to include additional parameters such as dissolved oxygen, pH, and turbidity.
Data Collection and Hosting
- In addition to data from our own sensors, we aggregate data from the USGS and the Solano Water Agency into a unified monitoring platform.
- We have developed a public dashboard that allows users to explore historical sensor data across custom date ranges and download the datasets as CSV files.
Educational Workshops
- Hands-on environmental research with students and community scientists. Sensor data, anomaly detection, and watershed stewardship. Taught in the field!
