This project is an ongoing multifaceted investigation of the Jordan River. The study's intent is to monitor and asses the overall condition of the river from Utah Lake to the Great Salt Lake. Samples of river and pond water, typical vegetation such as cattails, and some soils have been collected with reference to sites along the river that may serve as sites for the introduction of waste and other contaminants. These samples have so far been examined with respect to temperature and dissolved oxygen at the sampling point. Two river samples, one pond sample, and plant sample have been analyzed by ICP-MS for 20 different metals. The levels of Lead, Cadmium, and Copper have been determined by anodic stripping voltammetry at the ppb level in a variety of other water samples from the river. The results of these measurements are disused and presented Geospatially.
