The Rivernet Project is currently one of our top projects. We have set up seven water quality monitoring stations throughout the Neuse River basin. The stations monitor a variety of parameters including depth, water temperature, dissolved oxygen, ph, nitrate concentrations and turbidity. The project has been active since April 24, 2000. Water sample measurements are made every 15 minutes and nitrate measurements are taken every hour. In addition to the automated sampling, discrete samples are taken and measured in the Stable Isotope Lab to provide quality control. You can find out more information about the Rivernet Project here.
