Deerfield River Watershed Association - Water Sampling Test



Results from 4/05/09 (My site was the Old Willow)

From DWRA website:
The Deerfield River is one of the most pristine rivers in Massachusetts. Due to cool temperatures, high oxygen content, and neutral rather than acidic conditions, the river is home to a variety of aquatic life. Despite ten dams and five waste water treatment plants on its river shores, the watershed is not densely populated and most of the land use is forests. Because the river is clean and scenic, it is used heavily for recreation. DRWA has been documenting the water quality in the main stem and tributaries since 1990.
