Hillsdale Water Quality Project
A group of students at Spring Hill Middle School are participating in
the Hillsdale Water Quality Project. The purposes for developing these
"stream teams" are to educate the students on water quality
issues and to teach them what they can to do improve water quality in
their watershed. The students are collecting and analyzing water samples
and from this will learn more about the quality of the water in Hillsdale
Lake.
Tests that are planned include: ammonia, nitrates, dissolved oxygen,
pH, total phosphates, and temperature. Three sites have been selected. We hope to expand the
number of students involved in this project this coming school year.
Testing will resume this fall.
