The Ocmulgee and Oconee Rivers are tributaries to the Altamaha River, which is the primary drainage to the Piedmont and Coastal Plains in central Georgia. The Ocmulgee and Oconee River Basins are monitored by an undergraduate research group from Georgia College. The water quality is monitored based on EPA guidelines. The parameters analyzed include nutrients levels, temperature, pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and turbidity using HACH on-site probe kits.  Testing locations are mapped using Global Positioning Systems technology to ensure reproducibility. Water quality trends between the rivers of interest will be highlighted in the presentation.
