Bay View/NoName Watershed water quality data 2010-2012
During 2010-2012, a group of volunteer citizens (The "Storm Team") collected water samples from many different locations in the Bay View/NoName Watershed.
They collected the samples on 27 days when it had rained a lot, and 4 other days when there had been no rain for some time.
The samples were then tested for fecal coliform, which is an indicator of the presence of health-affecting bacteria.
