What I'm doing is setting up a continuous water quality study of three tributaries that discharge into the IRL. Titled---Establishing Sampling Sites to
Conduct a Continuous Study of Water Quality of Three Fresh Water Discharges
into the Indian River Lagoon
Names and locations are, a natural discharge Spruce Creek at the crossing of the
southernmost bridge on US1, (Man-made) Canal Street discharge at New Smyrna Beach, and (Man-made)
Tenth Street Canal at the New Smyrna Beach and Edgewater city limits on
Riverside Drive Bridge. While water quality data was collected on site and
included water temperature, salinity, pH, and dissolved O2, as well
as observations, tide level and direction, wind speed, and air temperature were
also recorded. Water samples were then collected using a Van Dorn, samples were then
transferred to 500ml Nalgene Bottles placed on ice then transported
back to the laboratory and analyzed for turbidity, total inorganic nitrogen and
total phosphates. Next I built a excel spreadsheet containing all the data, and then I will build a graph displaying the pertinent findings. More to come!!!!
