Скачать или смотреть DRBC Water Quality Sampling: Lockatong Creek

One of the efforts DRBC staff is collecting water quality data for this summer is its Non-Tidal Chlorides Monitoring Project. Data are being collected over a two-year period at 27 mainstem & tributary sites in the non-tidal Delaware River Basin, which is known as DRBC's Special Protection Waters.

This short video shows one of DRBC's interns collecting a water sample, the sound of the cicadas, and the display of the water quality meter readings at Lockatong Creek in Stockton, N.J.

The purpose of DRBC's Special Protection Waters regulations is to prevent the degradation of its exceptional water quality. There is evidence of increasing chlorides concentrations in these waters, and while levels are still relatively low, additional monitoring is needed to ensure water quality protection and to identify any areas of special concern.
