Project Description: 

Students learned the SaltWatch protocol for monitoring water quality for road salt contamination. They also participated in gathering water quality data for the Ottawa County Conservation District as well as paving the way to install EnviroDIY Mayfly Data Loggers to upload continuous water quality data to Monitor My Watershed.

Fostering Lifelong Stewardship:

Students have increased knowledge of all the factors that affect water quality and are more likely to be involved in stewardship activities in the future, including volunteer days with Ottawa County Parks and Recreation (for example).
