Short Description of Activity
Water quality testing is done every other week and my site is on the Rogue River at Grave Creek Bridge. I also test the area at the mouth of Grave Creek, flowing into the Rogue. After I collect the sample I put it in a cooler and take it to the drop off site for pick up.
Reflection/Evaluation
This is a great activity for me to get out into my backyard. The team at Rogue Riverkeeper test water quality all over the Rogue Basin and their results can be found at theswimguide.org.
