My name is Sasha Smith. I am in 10th grade and 17 years old. We tested our river and found out that it is bad. It had fecal coliform. Millions of fecal coliforms (1300/100ml),but the other tests were fine. (ph, oxygen, nitrate, phosphate) We are planning to visit the water plant soon and learn more about water. Sasha
Hello Again from Michigan School for the Deaf!
We just finished our water quality testing about a week ago. Our hypothesis was correct. We learned that the river behind our school is contaminated with sewage. Last year there was a sewage spill in a nearby Flint river. We weren't sure how much this affected our river until we analyzed the results. However, all other water quality tests had high q-values (between 85-100).
Our class is currently making a video tape about water quality testing. We hope to put the videotape on reserve in the Library for upcoming years to learn from our experiences and research.
