This slide presentation outlines a project to examine water quality in two subbasins managed by the Massachusetts Department of Conservation and Recreation. Project goals included: monitoring for a suite of water quality parameters including physical, chemical, biological and microbial source tracking; statistical analysis including correlation analysis of relationships among water quality parameters; and, analysis of variance of differences in water quality between sites and seasons. Overall goals included determining sources of contamination and suggesting parameters for routine monitoring. Two case studies are presented that discuss microbial parameters, seasonal differences, correlation analyses, and analysis of variance.
