We observed three far apart areas on the river to test wether the water is clean or not. the temperature must be at a consistancy to determine wether water is clean. If there is a sudden spike in temperature, there possible something wrong with the water. Also the pH level must be around 7 to be clean. If the pH level is higher or lower, there may be acids in it.

Our first point was a point source (a pipe). It is located past the birdge. The avarage temperature is around 65F and has a ph level of 7.85 and over.

Our second point was a riffle zone that was located very close to the bridge. The avarage temperature is around 66F and has a ph level of 7 and over.

Our final point was a depisition zone, which was near the park. The avarage temperature is around 70F and has a ph level of 5 and over.

From the first point to the last, the temperature increases. The pH level was around 5-8. We are going to see the filter the water at the points to check. We believe the water is clean near the bridge, until it gets close to the depisiton zone. There are few to no things that live in the river. This indicates that there is something in the river that allows few species to live (minoes).
