Test Sites
The Task Force collects quarterly water quality data at eleven stations. Volunteers measure temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen, and turbidity in the field at each site, and collect water samples at each site for laboratory analyses of nitrate, total and fecal coliform bacteria. In addition, aquatic insect and benthic algal biomass samples are collected annually. Click on a test site below to see where the site is located and observe its current and archived data!
