Little Topashaw Creek - Monitoring - Monthly water quality data
headline bar
Monthly Water Quality Data consisted of water-quality samples collected for seven consecutive days each month at sites that bracketed the restored reach. Parameters measured in-situ included temperature, conductivity, pH, and dissolved oxygen. Water samples were transported to the laboratory for analysis of total solids, dissolved solids, suspended solids, filtered orthophosphate, total phosphorus, nitrate, ammonia, chlorophyll, fecal coliforms, and enterococci.  A special study was also done on pesticide concentrations.
