During today's class we learned how to calibrate the barometer and Turbidity meter and how to use them to examine the quality of the water. We then went out to 4 water soused sites on property and tested the water quality. It was a very educational experience. I really enjoyed it.
There are many ways to measure the quality of water. Andrea Kealoha taught us a few basic ways to record water quality and able to see trends over time. We talked about 6 things that can be recorded to provide a story of the water. Oxygen, Salinity, Temperature, Nutrients, pH, Turbidity, We collected data at water sources in Kaehu using a tool called YSI which measure temp, oxygen, salinity, and pH. Also a tool called a turbidimeter. when recording the data at each site we can compare the numbers between each individual site or to itself overtime.
