Notes
Water
quality
is
a
function
of the
ecosystem
within
which
the
water
body
exists
.
Ensuring
access
to
clean
water
has
become
a
priority
for
many
nations
. The
waters
we
rely
on for
drinking
,
cleaning
, and
recreation
are
affected
by
factors
such
as
precipitation
,
erosion
, and
evaporation
.
Groundwater
,
surface
water
, and the
biological
members
of
surrounding
ecosystems
also
affect
water
bodies
. This
paper
assesses
selected
chemical
components
of the
West
Branch
of the
Eightmile
River
. This
branch
of the
Eightmile
River
is
located
in
Lyme
,
East
Haddam
,
Salem
,
Colchester
, and
East
Lyme
,
Connecticut
. The
entire
Eightmile
River
Watershed
is
currently
being
studied
in an
effort
to
obtain
designation
as a
National
Wild
and
Scenic
River
. In
order
to
achieve
this
designation
, the
river
must
demonstrate
at
least
one
"
Outstanding
Resource
Value
"
(ORV)
as
defined
by the
National
Park
Service
(NPS)
.
Water
quality
previously
determined
by
rapid
bioassessment
studies
of
macroinvertebrate
species
indicates
that the
West
Branch
of the
Eightmile
River
would be
designated
as a
Class
A
water
body
,
providing
one
ORV
for
designation
. In this
study
,
dissolved
oxygen
,
total
suspended
solids
,
turbidity
,
pH
,
temperature
,
reactive
and
total
phosphorus
,
chloride
,
total
inorganic
nitrogen
, and
specific
conductance
were
measured
. These
parameters
for the
West
Branch
of the
Eightmile
River
were
found
to be
consistent
with a
Class
A
water
body
as
defined
by the
State
of
Connecticut
Department
of
Environmental
Protection
and US
Environmental
Protection
Agency
water
quality
standards
.
