A team of undergraduates from the Georgia College Department of Chemistry, Physics and Astronomy have come together to research and monitor the Oconee river basin that spans from north to middle Georgia. The research group is monitoring the nutrient levels, pH and turbidity of the water using on-site water testing kits. Testing is done during the winter months in order to obtain more accurate results and EPA protocols are followed to ensure proper sampling of the surface water. The sampling locations are mapped using Global Positioning Systems to guarantee that future studies are taken at the same locations. This team is investigating the trends between the Oconee, Ocmulgee and Altamaha Rivers that all conjoin in middle Georgia. This presentation summarizes the results and features the techniques used to acquire the results.
