Students assessed stream quality in situ by measuring parameters such as temperature, flow, dissolved oxygen, pH and conductivity. They also collected samples from the stream both upstream and downstream of the dam. The samples were analyzed in the laboratory for total carbonate, nitrite/nitrate and phosphate. The measurements were later compared with predictions using the theory of chemical equilibrium.
