Purpose | To detect water quality problems in neighborhood streams and to monitor trends, as well as to provide citizens means of learning about and engaging in local environmental protection. |
Data Quality Information | Data quality may vary with equipment maintenance and volunteers. For more information about quality assurance, equipment calibration, and data analysis, please contact the CCWI office. |
Use Constraints | Data may not represent actual range of conditions due to reliance on individual measurements rather continuous data recorders. |
Supplemental Information | Equipment used: Hach 2100P Turbidimeter; Multi parameter Stream Survey Kit (Phosphate, Nitrate, Ammonia, temp), ICM Portable DO Meter, double juncture Oakton pHTestr 2, Oakton Conductivity Testr Low; Oakton Conductivity Testr High, Flow measured with orange, tape measure, stopwatch. Site selection criteria: areas representative of the watershed, areas that could be affected by water pollution and siltation from land use practices and development, accessibility for long term citizen monitoring projects. |
