Water Quality Conclusion

Douglass creek conclusion





The water at Douglass creek was good over all. The water at site 1 was good except the problem we messed up on our DO test the average was9-12 drops and ours was 52 drops. We don’t know why but we could assume that we had oxygen in our vial.

Our vegetation was good and was improving on the second trip and by the third trip it was great. Our water temperature was 40 degrees f every time. Our shape in cross-section was a U. our longitudinal pattern was straight.

We found many macro invertebrates. Most of those macro invertebrates were non tolerant. But some of the macro invertebrates were somewhat tolerant. This means that they live in places that can be dirty but only a little bit. Since we found tolerant macro invertebrates we can say that the water is good.

Other observations were that the water was very deep and muddy.

Over all the water at Douglass creek was good.
