The soil in these areas maintains a pretty good constant but we weren't 100% precise because of equipment limitations but for the water readings it seemed to spike with the addition of the maple river leaving the question of possible pollution up stream.

The water quality is fairly normal for the area at the 12th and 19th avenue site but in findings the 40th avenue site has factors up stream resulting in a higher pH level which could prove bad for aquatic species downstream.
For the 12th avenue site the construction needs to make sure they are using proper precautions to protect the rives and the land along the east bank needs more vegtation.

Testing the quality of the Shyenne is beneficial for ourselves and all aquatic life. More PH or hydrogen ions then hydroxide ions creates acidic water both bad for humans and the species within the waters. With knowledge of our rivers health we have the proper skills to take action and protect our aquatic organisms.

We are running a pH test. To run this test we will be using a pHep a pH electronic meter. We will examine the condition of the pHep after we remove the cap and soak the sensor for at least a half an hour.

We look at more than one site so we can get an average of the river. Water quality could be different at all 3 sites so if you take just one sample at one site, it won't be correct. There are tributaries going into the river that could be affecting the quality so if we take samples at 3 different sites. We can tell if those tributaries are affecting it.

With out tests we can prove the range or kinds of aquatic species tolerant to the levels found. By preforming a soil sample we can see if any outside pollution is affecting our water quality. By knowing this we can provide protection both the local citizens and the aquatic species.

Healthy pH readings in our water shed average 8.2 anything differing by .1 of that level is good as well just not as healthy. We will take soil samples by the river to make sure the water quality isn't being poll
