Water Quality Sampling -Storm Flow

Well, our wish was granted. Just a week after finishing our base flow sampling we got enough rain to take storm flow samples! Yesterday we went to all of our urban and forested sites. Because we couldn't actually get in the streams, we just took one measurement for pH, conductivity, DO, temperature, and turbidity. We took one water sample to measure nitrates, ammonium, and phosphates in the lab and did not collect leaf litter or algae. Now, we just need to finish processing our data. So far, we have measured nitrates for all of our urban streams. Our algae and leaf litter is dry and ready to be weighed.
