Study Objectives
¥Water Quality Analysis
¥Land Use Assessment
¥Future Trends
¥With a sense of the past and present characteristics of threemile pond, We studied the natural and human activities affecting the lake in order to assess its overall health.

¥We performed physical, chemical, and biological tests on the lake and on incoming and outgoing tributaries.

¥We also assessed land use by mapping the history of various land use types throughout the watershed, and surveying houses and roads.

¥From these measurements and from historical data, we were able to evaluate the current lake health, make predictions on future trends, and recommend remediation techniques.
¥Bethany Craig will now present our water quality tests and results
