 * River Health Hypothesis** **We do not think that the river water is healthy because mainly because of the point sources and the fact that there are animals that live in it that dispose of their waste in the river.**======

=
__**Point Source Idea:**__ **We think that the point sources are a big part in the river's health because of the point sources "source".We think that some/most of the point sources that dispose into the tributary is sewage. The reason that we believe that is because wear the point sources dump there debris, there is sometimes a orange stain which is probably rust or rotted sewage. So obviously if there is sewage in the tributary it is not clean. __Temperature__** **To take the temperature, we first used the battery powered thermometer to take the temperatures at each of our spots. We then used the** **thermometer that plugs into the handheld to take another temperature reading of our 3 spots. We took the 2 temperatures for each of the spots and averaged them out to get the numbers in the table you see below.**======

=

 * __Ph reading__** **We basically** **used the same tactic we used for taking the temperature for taking the Ph level. we first used the paper strips at each of our spots first then we used the electronic Ph meter at each of our spots and once again averaged the Ph for each spot to get the numbers you see in table below .**======

=

 * Spot 1 || Spot 2 || Spot 3 || || Average is 8.55 || Average is 8.125 || Average is 8.40 ||======

__**Conductivity**__ we used a handheld device to obtain a reading. We went to each of our spots and put the device in the water and it told us what the conductivity was.
 * >  ||> Conductivity ||   ||> Spot 1 || 897 uS/cm ||> Spot 2 || 898 uS/cm ||> Spot 3 || 887 uS/cm ||


 * __Flowrate__** To find the flowrate of the river we used a handheld and a propeller attached to a wired connected to the handheld to get a reading. We had to have the propeller completly submerged and at a right angle so we could get an accurate reading.
