  1. UTF Proposal: Water Quality Assessment InstrumentationAnn J. Murkowski

  2. Why measure water quality? • Important indicator for ecological and human health • Hands-on • Local interest (our own wetland)

  3. Who would measure water quality? • Biology classes (both major’s and non-major’s) • Environmental Science classes • Chemistry classes • Coordinated studies classes • Students doing independent research

  4. Why use instrumentation? • Accurate • Easy to use • Quantifiable results • Durable • Interface with Laptops

  5. The Instruments The Hach HQ40d Meter measures pH, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen. The unit is approved by the EPA for oxygen measurements in waste water.

  6. The Instruments The Chemetrics V-2000 Photometer measures (and quantifies) up to 30 different analytes. The meters are waterproof and can download data directly to laptops.
