Project #514 on iSENSEProject.org
Description
This data set contains water quality data from two sampling stations on the Merrimack River: one at UMass Lowell's Bellegarde Boathouse in Lowell, Massachusetts, and the other downstream at the Abe Bashara Boathouse in Lawrence, Massachusetts. Water samples were collected from May to October at both locations. The following water quality indicators were tested: temperature, dissolved oxygen, pH, E. coli bacteria, and phosphates.
