Project Description: 

High school students conducted chemical and biological monitoring of a stormwater pond and a stream, using macroinvertebrate identification, habitat surveys, and passive sampling devices to assess water quality and ecological health. The project builds on Keith Piccard’s RAIL Project, connecting middle and high school campuses in a shared study of local waterways while exploring green stormwater infrastructure and outreach solutions.
