Talk Overview:
“Water quality” often means different things to different people, but how do limnologists, or scientists who study freshwater lakes and rivers, study and measure it? Find out the answers to these questions, learn more about the chemical and biological processes that are a part of freshwater systems and discover how our actions on land can affect our local lakes and streams during this event!
