Stream Water Monitoring


Participants can expect: 

Students will measure turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature at the stream and discuss the importance of each.  Then students will collect macroinvertebrates and calculate a biotic index.  These basic measurements will give insight into the water quality of the stream.
