You’ll be analyzing water to collect data on core parameters such as dissolved oxygen, temperature, pH, water clarity, and bacteria. You’ll also learn how to identify and count benthic macroinvertebrates. All of these tests will be performed in the field using kits and equipment.[button link=”http://www.jotform.us/amathis/yorktraining” color=”default” size=”” stretch=”” type=”” shape=”” target=”_blank” title=”” gradient_colors=”|” gradient_hover_colors=”|” accent_color=”” accent_hover_color=”” bevel_color=”” border_ icon_position=”left” icon_divider=”no” modal=”” animation_direction=”left” animation_speed=”1″ ]Register Here[/button]Registration is required.
