A Breton Observation Box (BOB) keeps an eye on water quality at the Lovers Point oyster restoration site in Breton Bay. This BOB is one of seven created and deployed in the watershed through a partnership between teachers, students, and volunteers at the Dr. James A. Forrest Career and Technology Center in Leonardtown, Maryland. https://www.baybackpack.com/blog/meet-bob-this-student-project-is-bobbing-along-in-breton-bay-maryland

Construction of the Turbidity Sensors
Turbidity refers to the cloudiness or haziness of a fluid caused by suspended particles that are usually not visible to the humans naked eye. Its commonly used to describe the clarity of the water, with higher turbidity indicating more suspended particles in the water causing reduced clarity.

Assembling the pipes and facets.
Assembling the pipes and facets.
I first measured out the correct lengths for all my pipe then cut based on the increments of pipe needed. I then assembled all the pieces together marking where they sit with a pencil.

Images of me making sure the length in inches between two holes was at exactly 25 throughout my assembly.
Gluing/Priming surfaces
Gluing/Priming surfaces
After marking and measuring my turbidity sensor I disassembled it for easy access to all surfaces. After I had the parts separated I out used a small brush to spread primer around all holes and surfaces.

This image shows the individual parts with primer covering the vital surfaces. The next step after this would be spreading the glue over the primer and constructing the final assembly. (Measuring the spacing once again to ensure accuracy and even alignment).
