Thus far, we have reviewed how water temperature, pH, and dissolved oxygen can be used to help determine the water quality of a body of water.
Is the NYCOM Pond affected by acid rain or other factors? It is located close to a walking path, buildings and a roadway. Do these factors affect the pond's water quality? Do you think the pH of the pond changes as the seasons change? What organisms are living in the pond? We observed many happy frogs!

I'm wondering if our temperature readings are useful being that we took the sample from about 3 inches of water.
ReplyDeleteYour readings are useful, as long as you document your procedure, stating you collected temperature and pH levels of the pond water at the surface.
