There are two water quality teams operating from Thurston and Springfield High Schools. Teams collect monthly data (9-12 months out of the year) from different basins including: Cedar Creek, The Springfield Mill Race, and the South Willamette Confluence. We test for the following physical and chemical parameters:
Dissolved oxygen
% saturation
Nitrates
Nitrites
Nitrogen
Ammonia
Reactive phosphorus
pH levels
Conductivity
Turbidity
General coliform & E.coli bacteria
