1. Neshaminy Watershed Project By David Schmidt, Sean Gentile, and Nick Ashenfelter

2. Our Mission Measure Water Quality in the Neshaminy Creek Pin-point possible causes of decreases of water quality between test sites Four Test Sites Technology Used:  pH Paper  Dissolved Oxygen Test Kits

3. Reasons to Preserve the Neshaminy 1 Is a piece of history. Was used by the Lenni Lenape tribe. 2 Water fountain water can come from Neshaminy. Constant Floodings. 3 Is a tributary which flows to the Delaware River Delaware flows to the Atlantic Ocean.

4. How We Tested Dissolved Oxygen 1. Went to sites of testing along the Neshaminy Creek 2. Filled water in a clean jar and put in dissolved oxygen needle. 3. Break edge of dissolved oxygen needle, allowing the water to flow in the tube. 4. Wait for two minutes. 5. Compare results with the ppm (parts per million) with graph.

5. How We Tested pH Levels 1. Went to sites of testing along the Neshaminy Creek 2. Filled water in a clean jar. 3. Put litmus in water for one second. 4. Wait two minutes. 5. Record data with pH scale.

6. West Branch Park pH Test- 6.5 Results- Great Dissolved Oxygen Test- 7 Results- Supports a Stable Ecosystem West Branch Park is located on Schoolhouse Rd. in Chalfont.

7. Lenape Lane Park pH Test- 6.5 Results- Great Dissolved Oxygen Test-7 Results- Supports a Stable Ecosystem

8. Tyler State Park pH Test- 6 Results- Good Dissolved Oxygen Test- 7 Results- Supports a Stable Ecosystem The Bridge at Tyler State Park, located in Richboro across from Bucks County Community College.

9. Neshaminy State Park pH Test- 6 Results- Good Dissolved Oxygen Test- 6 Results- Shows Proficient Growth in Underwater Population The Neshaminy Creek in Croydon, PA.
