Wetlands

Frederick County Stream and River

Data Averages

Frederick County Outdoor School

 

The following information has been collected by Frederick County Public School sixth graders. The Outdoor School provides a 2 day field study of the different rivers and streams of Frederick County as a follow-up to the water unit taught in their home school science class. Besides collecting water data the students also observe the great variety of plants and animals that are found in our wetlands and surrounding areas. They also discover the importance of wetlands to the Chesapeake Bay Watershed.

*For the first time this year the students will have concrete data for turbidity. The meter we will be using measures the turbidity of the water in Nephelometric Turbidity Units (NTU). This is the same standard used by our local water treament plants. The State of Maryland requires that the NTU's be at least .5, however; the City of Frederick requires it to be .05 NTU's or less. The students will then be able to compare the turbidity of the rivers and streams to the standards set by the State for drinking water.
