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.
