The first week of Citizens Water Quality Testing Program results are posted at http://www.nycwatertrail.org/water_quality.html
Next sampling is today and every Thursday thereafter all summer. Samples are collected by volunteers at non-motorized boat launch sites and other access points in and around NYC and transported to our partner, The River Project, for testing for enterococcus, a good indicator of human pathogens. Results are posted each Friday night, tabulated with rainfall and high and low tide.
Come see 2013's first tests and last year's full season results and follow the program as we plot another season to learn more about how rainfall and tidal currents affects water quality in out estuary.
