Surface water testing kits along with gas chromatography and mass spectrometry are used for analysis of water samples collected in the Oconee River Basin located near Milledgeville, Georgia.  The pH, turbidity, conductivity, and temperature are measured on-sight at different locations along the Oconee River. Longitude and latitude coordinates using global positioning system are used to insure the accuracy of the location each time a sample is taken.  Water samples are collected following the Environmental Protection Agency guidelines for additional analysis using GC/MS.  The techniques used as well as the results are highlighted and summarized in this presentation.
