Title
Chemical
water
quality
assessment

Abstract
Rivers
are
utilized
on a
daily
basis
for
everything
from
water
intake
for
paper
mills
,
irrigation
of
golf
courses
and
agricultural
crops
, and
energy
generation
by
hydroelectric
dams
, to
recreational
uses
such
as
fishing
,
swimming
,
tubing
, and
boating
. But
over
time
the
cumulative
impact
of
our
uses
of these
waterways
have
damaged
many
of them
severely
. The
Clean
Water
Act
of
1972
was a
huge
victory
for
conservationists
and
helped
initiate
the
wave
of
support
to
protect
and
restore
the
nation’s
waters
. There are
many
different
methods
that
can
be
used
to
evaluate
the
state
of
water
quality
in a
freshwater
stream
. The
criteria
and
standards
by
which
we
determine
the
health
of a
stream
are
continually
being
improved
upon
and
updated
. In this
study
, a
baseline
water
quality
assessment
was
conducted
on the
East
Branch
of the
Eightmile
River
located
in
East
Haddam
,
Lyme
, and
Salem
,
Connecticut
.
Selected
parameters
were
chosen
, and
nutrient
analyses
were
conducted
on
water
samples
to
determine
if they
adhered
to their
designated
water
quality
criteria
.
Six
locations
on the
East
Branch
of the
Eightmile
were
assessed
on a
bi-weekly
basis
for
seven
months
. Of the
six
locations
that were
studied
,
four
of them
easily
stayed
within
their
designated
water
quality
standards
for the
State
of
Connecticut’s
Department
of
Environmental
Protection
assigned
class
.
Water
quality
at
one
of the
sites
,
site
6
, was
affected
by a
beaver
dam
that was
constructed
during
the
sampling
period
. The
repercussions
of
having
a
dam
just
upstream
of the
sample
site
can
explain
the
extreme
values
that
we
obtained
. The
only
site
that
showed
significant
signs
of
human
impacts
on
water
quality
was
site
3
,
which
is
the
site
that
is
located
closest
to the
most
heavily
trafficked
road
in the
watershed
.
