session conducted by the Cobb County Watershed Stewardship Program, a division of the Georgia Department of Natural Resources.
The students learned about basic stream water chemistry and how to conduct chemical tests using hand-held field equipment. The workshop, part of Georgia’s Adopt-A-Stream program, is designed to equip volunteers with the skills necessary to collect accurate and precise data on the condition of local stream water. Whitefield students are charged with monitoring the water quality of the creek located on the edge of Whitefield’s property.
“Our kids will conduct tests on this creek as part of the Whitefield’s science club” said Dawn Byers, Middle School science teacher. “They are now certified volunteers and can participate in collecting data for the state to use in water quality studies.”
Georgia’s Adopt-A-Stream program exists to increase public awareness of the state's pollution and water quality issues and provide citizens with the tools and training to evaluate and protect their local waterways.
