Watershed and Water Quality

Watershed monitoring is being conducted to assess how land use affects nonpoint pollutant inputs to Noxontown Pond, the major surface water body of importance at SAS. Water samples, taken at various locations, are analyzed for nutrients, metals, pH, temperature, turbidity, conductivity, and dissolved oxygen.
