Monitoring Water Quality in a River
Project #631 on iSENSEProject.org
Description
Middle School Citizen's Science Project. Several variables determine the quality of water in a river. Water quality affects the diversity of invertebrates in a river. This project is intended to monitor the water quality of a river over time and predict the health of the river.
There is a file attached that correlates the measurements of the variables to the health of the river.
