Abstract
The purpose of this project was to test the water quality including the PH level, DO level, and the water temperature at heathwood hall, and compare it to Gills Creek measurements at bluff road made by the City of Columbia. The Independent Variable: Location of the measurements taken. Dependent Variable: The correlation or lack there of between the two data sets. The procedure involved collecting a sample from the heathwood pond and the runoff up the heathwood pond measuring the temperature there and then measuring the DO and PH levels once it had been brought back. After reviewing and analyzing the data and comparing the results to the hypothesis,
