Our data collection purpose is to compare the before and after effects of rainstorms. By collecting data before the first expected raining periods in October, we can have a set of a quantitative sample that allows us to compare the water quality to those after the rain sheds in the days/week after. The differences allow us to look at the subjects in the watershed; long term monitoring over the years at the same period will give us an insight to occurring trends.

All these physical tests will be recorded at the sampling site. It's important that these factors are taken into account as depending on the physical conditions, the water quality could change.
We chose to do the six following water quality tests: pH, nitrates, temperature, turbidity, dissolved oxygen, and phosphorus based on its common usage in evaluating water quality. Below is an explanation corresponding to the objectivity of each test:
