Brooklyn Creek Data Collection:May 22nd, 2013 Three sites: • Guthrie • Dogwood • Balmoral
Questions to Answer: • Define and/or explain the parameters assigned. • Why are these parameters useful/important in assessing stream health? • Explain the nature of the tests performed to assess these parameters, and the theory behind each test. • Where relevant, state the allowable levels for each parameter. • Present data and compare to allowable levels.
