MORE TO COME!
In the next three weeks nutrient concentrations, determined
via spectromectric analyzation, will be added to our data
set to give us a clearer picture of the Phosphate, Ammonia,
and Nitrate/Nitrite levels. These techniques are very
sensitive and will discern between concentration levels in a
way that our present tools can not. These levels will be
graphed against Chlorophyll concentrations and Coliform
bacteria counts and made available to fans and followers of
the WaterShed2012 WikiSpace.
