Macroinvertebrate Study In Scituate Apr 2011

Macroinvertebrate Study In Scituate

Watershed Access Lab Projects

A severe drought affected the streams leading into the reservoirs in Scituate throughout the summer of 2010 causing water bans and an exceptionally low amount of water from which to draw for the town’s use. The usual public and accessible portions of the streams were dry. Fortunately, the North and South Rivers Watershed Association includes a member who graciously allowed four students to come and sample the water on his property on October 7, 2010. Following the sampling with kick nets and gear borrowed from the WAL lab, these students spent the next six months meeting weekly to classify the …

Matfield River Land Use

Watershed Access Lab Projects

Three classes at East Bridgewater High School examined and analyzed various aspects of the Matfield River during the 2010-2011 school year. The chemistry and environmental science classes at East Bridgewater High School collected data from the Matfield River in November 2010. The environmental science class analyzed the macroinvertebrates of the river, and the chemistry class examined the chemistry of the river. The oceanography class tested fecal coliform bacteria in water samples taken in March 2011, and also examined land use of the river’s tributaries.

Although concerns were raised about the sewage treatment plant releasing waste into the Salisbury Plain River, …

The Runnins Report 2010 Apr 2010

The Runnins Report 2010

Watershed Access Lab Projects

Fall 2009 marks the second year that all 10th grade Biology II students and their teachers joined the watershed study project initiated by AP Biology students at Seekonk High School. Students traveled to 2 sites along the Runnins River: the Burr’s Pond site and an upstream site at the home of the Masons; to assess the health of the river at these sites. This highly successful venture allowed these students to relate ecological concepts to real, hands on research. Students, with the assistance of Kim McCoy, collected and filtered water grab samples, collected macroinvertebrate samples, took pictures of their classmates …

Abbott Run Annual Study 2010

Watershed Access Lab Projects

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

Abbott Run is located in the Western section of North Attleborough and is within the Blackstone River Watershed. Rhode Island to the West, and Plainville and North Attleborough to the South border the river. The Watershed section that is in North Attleborough is four square miles in size.

Land use is mostly single-family residential use except …
