Data Collection Information

Samples taken using Water Rangers Freshwater Explorer kit. A digital probe is used to collect temperature and conductivity data from a triple rinsed surface water sample. Clarity is obtained via secchi depth. Dissolved oxygen is estimated using the Indigo Carmine test. pH, Alkalinity, Chlorinity, and Hardness obtained from Taylor test strip test.

Data Collection Processing

QA/QC performed by Water Rangers staff.
