The Greenbrier River


We concluded our water quality tests in the Greenbrier River downstream in Caldwell near Lewisburg.  The GPS coordinates of the testing site are N37 47.3969 and W80 23.0530.  This test was very similar to the other two.  The pH here was the best of the three at 7.3.  (Disclaimer: It rained overnight and was raining while we were testing, so it is possible the results could be slightly skewed.)  The overall water quality was slightly higher as well at 47.83, this is at the top of the fair range.

The map below shows the three sites that were tested.  (It is approximately 90 miles from Durbin to Caldwell.) 
A - Durbin 45.47
B - Cass 40.05
C - Caldwell 47.83

 

THINK:
* What could cause the variances in water quality?
