Draft 1--The History of Pollution in Harkers Run vs. Collins Run

This topic submitted by Karen Schoenfeld ( schoenkm@muohio.edu ) on 1/27/03. [ Rivers Team: Karen Schoenfeld-Section: Cummins/Kaufman]

NOTE: I submitted this on time last Thursday, but ended up submitting it to the wrong site...so here is it for you all to read now!


Collins Run is set in a rural setting, while Harkers Run is surrounded by forrest. I am curious to see if I can research the chemical data from both Collins Run and Harkers Run, and compare the data to the activity surrounded the water. For example, I want to see the changes in the water that are related directly to rural development, and the pollution that came with it. I am predicting that the pollution will steadily increase as the rural development increases, but I want to see which chemicals are found the most in the water. The data found for Harkers Run will be mostly for comparison to Collins Run.


The project will require a lot of reseach about the chemicals in the water, and also the history of development surrounding the water. I would also like to include photography in my project. Hopefully I can find photos of the development as it has progressed.
