Keelung River is located next to Minglun High School. Our observation shows that the flow of water occasionally has a counter-current phenomenon, which belongs to the tidal river. We will explore the distribution of tidal reach through the change of river water level, and use self-made pumping motor to obtain water from different depths. Through actual investigation, we will understand the water quality of the outlet of Dalong pumping station, including salinity, turbidity, river acid resistance ... and so on.



Comments

This is a very interesting study, and it has important implications for people in your community. I was wondering if it is possible to compare the data you are collecting with that of the water quality managers for your city? You raise some interesting questions about the causes and effects of acid rain on your river's water quality.
We did find some official data, and tried to compare with ours. My students just completed their midterm exam today, I want to leave them the opportunity to give you a response. Thanks for your encouragement.

hope you will like it.
Both of the videos which you created and posted on YouTube were fabulous. The one with the song really was fabulous in sharing the joy of doing science and how to use GLOBE hydrology protocols. I also found your results video a very useful way to better understand your research. Well done! Being able to communicate your results to others is vital in science- your team ROCKS!
This is a really interesting project. I really like the DIY pump to get the water from different levels.
Excellent work! I enjoyed reading and the video a lot!
You have interesting questions, it's well structured. The pump to take water samples is very ingenious. Congratulations!
