- Abstract
- In this project I compare water quality across four stream sites, which vary
from very urban to more rural environments. We used hand-held water
quality probes to collect turbidity, temperature, dissolved oxygen and
conductivity at each site from Spring of 2022 to Fall 2023. Following
data collection, I organized and analyzed the data to determine
trends over time and variations among sites. Data were examined for correlations and
potential explanations were developed.
