Abstract
I will be conducting water quality testing in bodies of water in the area. The goal is to determine if there is a correlation between the water quality and the proximity to farmland or if areas are equally affected by nonpoint sources of pollution despite the distance. The data collection will take place over the course of a month or less, with a more detailed schedule in the proposal. Several samples will be taken at each body of water, with 3-5 bodies of water per treatment group. I will be testing the pH, nitrates, and dissolved oxygen levels of the water using API testing kits.
