Our research question is why should communities care about water?
We wondered about this because we wanted our community to step up on helping our water quality, to make the water healthy for our ecosystem. We collected our water quality data from
the San Francisco piers. This data showed water quality from different piers and different ways we tested the water quality. Which then helped us conclude if the water is healthy enough for our ecosystem, and if not what can we and our community do to help?
The data showed nitrates, pH, temperature, turbidity level, and dissolved oxygen
which concluded with safe and clean water.
