    The document appears to be notes from an environmental science class focusing on water quality and local water resources. It includes key terms related to rivers and watersheds, as well as class activities identifying local rivers and mapping where water drains. Tests for assessing water quality are outlined, including dissolved oxygen, temperature, turbidity, bacteria, pH, nitrates and phosphates. Students are prompted to consider how these factors impact ecosystems and relate to sources of pollution.
