�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
