1 Stream Observation Data Sheet School: Charleroi Middle School Date 9/2/15 Stream Study Site: Maple Creek Teacher: Mr. Johnson Latitude_210 7 degrees NORTH Yesterday Group Members: Period 7 th Longitude_ degrees WEST Weather Today Air Temperature 77 C or F Cloud Cover clear partly cloudy cloudy Air Temperature 6 C or F Cloud Cover clear_ partly cloudy cloudy Precipitation 0.0 in Precipitation 0.0 in How could yesterday s weather affect today s field study? Lack of rain can affect the level of the stream Macroinvertebrate Survey Collection method used: Kick-Seine or D-Net (circle). If using a kick-seine, collect samples times. If using a D-net, collect 20 scoops and record the number of scoops taken from each of the habitat areas in the table Check all of the macroinvertebrates that you find in your stream and calculate the stream s water quality rating [you may also record the number of each captured, but to calculate the rating at the bottom, only count each kind of animal once, regardless of the quantity found]. Benthic Habitat Sampled Habitat # scoops Riffle 111 Rootwads/ woody 11 debris/ leaf pack Submerged 1 Undercut s Other (specify): TOTAL 20 SENSITIVE LESS SENSITIVE TOLERANT to pollution of pollution Caddisflies (except net spinners) Caddisflies, common net spinning Crayfish Aquatic worms Mayflies Dobsonflies Scuds 1 Black flies Stoneflies Fishflies Aquatic sowbugs Midge flies 1 Watersnipe flies 1 Crane flies Clams Leeches 5 Riffle beetles Damselflies Mussels Lunged snails 10 Water pennies Dragonflies Salamanders 1 Worm 2 Gilled snails Alderflies 1 Caterpillar # of check marks (# of kinds found) # of check marks (# of kinds found) count both columns under less sensitive # of check marks (# of kinds found) 18 5 Now add up the numbers you calculated for all three categories, above, and write the total # here:89 # above x = 5_ # above x 2 = 20 5 # above x = 15 WATER QUALITY RATING Circle the rating that corresponds to the total of your columns.

3 Water Quality Testing (1) Follow instructions provided with each test kit to test different parameters. (2) Record your data here: DATA Dissolved Oxygen (DO) Dissolved Oxygen (DO) % Saturation See conversion chart ph Phosphate Nitrate Chloride Transparency (cm) Turbidity (JTU ~= NTU) Conductivity ( s/cm) Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) (ppm = mg/l) Water Temperature ( o C) Trial Trial Trial () Circle the corresponding value here: Dissolved Oxygen (DO) % Saturation (see conversion chart) ph (units) Water Quality Summation for Chemical Tests ECELLENT GOOD FAIR POOR > < 50 < 5.5 > 9.0 Reactive Phosphate (PO ) > 2.0 Nitrate (NO ) > 10 Chloride (Cl) > 250 Transparency (cm) > < 15.5 Turbidity (JTU ~= NTU) > 0 Total Dissolved Solids (ppm = mg/l) > 50 Conductivity ( s/cm) > 500 Based on your tests and observations, how would you rate water quality overall (e.g., if you had some excellent, some fair, mostly good, you might give an overall rating of good)? Circle your answer: Overall Water Quality Rating: Excellent Good Fair Poor [continued, next page]
