Burr’S Pond And Runnins River – An Annual Watershed Survey 2008 Apr 2008

Burr’S Pond And Runnins River – An Annual Watershed Survey 2008

Watershed Access Lab Projects

AP Biology students at Seekonk High School are required to complete an independent research project to fulfill the Ecology unit of the course during the summer prior to the course. Students must apply what they learned in their readings to a local ecosystem, Burr’s Pond which is attached to the Runnins River. Students spend time at the pond area during the summer documenting organisms, evidence of population dynamics, animal behavior, trophic levels, nutrient cycling, etc. Students put together a Burr’s Pond Summer Field Research Project Portfolio to be submitted on the first day of school. Student projects are displayed at …


Comparative Nutrient Data For Two Locations On The Marstons Mills River Apr 2008

Comparative Nutrient Data For Two Locations On The Marstons Mills River

Watershed Access Lab Projects

On October 30, 2007, we deployed water samplers at two locations along the Marstons Mills River: River Road and Hyrdo Dam/Route 28. We programmed a Sigma at each location to take a water sample each hour for 24 hours, to determine the amount of dissolved nutrients in the water in the course of one day. When compared to the discharge at each site, we found that the Hydro Dam location moved nearly 117 000 000 liters of water, 10 000 grams of phosphorus, and 25 000 grams of nitrogen-nitrate each day. Only a short distance upstream, the River Road location …


The Effect Of The Middleboro Wastewater Treatment Plant On The Water Quality Of The Nemasket River Apr 2008

The Effect Of The Middleboro Wastewater Treatment Plant On The Water Quality Of The Nemasket River

Watershed Access Lab Projects

Students studied the effect of the Middleboro Waste Treatment Plant on the water quality of the Nemasket River. Students sampled for DO, temperature, pH, nutrients and macroinvertebrates. Sampling sites included the reference site at Rte 105 and the impact site at Murdock Street in Middleboro, MA. A recovery site was not sampled due to distance and time constraints. Students toured the treatment plant and interviewed Mr. Joseph Ciaglo to learn how the plant operated. Students learned that orthophosphates are removed using ferric chloride to precipitate the phosphate. The analysis of samples for orthophosphate showed that the concentrations at Murdock Street …

River Watch 2008 Apr 2008

River Watch 2008

Watershed Access Lab Projects

SLIDE 3: The Indian Head River forms the Northern Border of the Town of Hanson, Other towns that impact the water quality directly in the areas of study include Pembroke to the east and Hanover to the north, northeast. There are approximately 8 miles between our upstream site near Factory Pond and our downstream site at Ludham’s Ford or as other’s call it, Curtis’ Crossing. The river covers about eight acres of land in this area and was most likely used as a fishing and travel spot for the Wompatuck Indians.

A guide named James Luddam carried Governor Winthrop across …


Abbott Run Annual Study 2008 Apr 2008

Abbott Run Annual Study 2008

Watershed Access Lab Projects

The purpose of our study was to make certain that Abbott Run met the Massachusetts water quality standards of a Class A river. We are concerned that the Abbott Run remains a Class A river because it is the source of the drinking water for Pawtucket, Rhode Island.

Abbott Run is located in the western section of North Attleboro within the Blackstone River Watershed. It is bordered by Rhode Island to the west, Plainville to the north and Attleboro to the south. The watershed section in North Attleboro is approximately four square miles.

Land use is predominately single-family, residential except …


Fore! The Effect Of Poquoy Brook Golf Course On The Water Quality Of Poquoy Brook Apr 2008

Fore! The Effect Of Poquoy Brook Golf Course On The Water Quality Of Poquoy Brook

Watershed Access Lab Projects

The students studied the influence of Poquoy Brook Golf Course on the water quality of Poqouy Brook. The headwaters of Poquoy Brook are located in wetlands. The brook flows through a cranberry bog prior to entering the golf course at the upstream site (Hole 4) on Southworth Street, Lakeville, MA. It passes through the golf course to the impact site at Hole 17. After passing under the railroad bridge it flows through a short segment of wetlands to the recovery site at the Dias residence on Taunton Street. Although all tested parameters were in normal ranges, except for % DO …
