Green Castle Lakes

• The temperature of the lake was 22.5 degrees
  Celsius.
• The Phosphate of the water was less then 1ppm.
  Which is pretty good.
• The Nitrate was very good and was less than 5ppm.
• The PH was 8ppm which is more basic.
• The Dissolved oxygen was 2ppm with 35
  saturation.
• The Turbidity of the water or how clear it is,
  was medium.

Paint Branch Pond

• The Phosphate of the small pond was 1ppm, which
  is pretty good.
• The Ph of the water was 10ppm which is very
  basic.
• The Dissolved Oxygen of the water was very poor.
  Only 0ppm, 50 or Less.
• The Nitrate was not high at all.
• The Turbidity was very Turbid.

Paint Branch Stream

• The Phosphate of the stream was 2.5ppm which is
  not good.
• The PH of the water down stream was 6ppm and
  upstream is 6.5ppm.
• The Dissolved Oxygen of the water was 4ppm, with
  37 saturation.
• The Nitrate was less than 5ppm, which is very
  good.
• The Turbidity of the water both upstream and
  downstream was good.
• The Temperature of the water was 12 degrees
  Celsius.

Conclusion

• Out of all three sites the most Turbid is Paint
  Branch Pond. The Less Turbid one is Paint Branch
  Stream. The Nitrate was closely the same at all
  three sites. The Temperature was different at the
  two selected sites Which are Paint Branch
  Stream and Green Castle Lakes. PBS was a more
  cooler day which effects the temperature of the
  water. At GCL it was raining, but not as cool as
  the day before. All sites were near human life
  which greatly effects every thing we tested.
