Abstract

Josh Mitchell

This project was done to learn how much are local bodies of water had been effected by pollution. I predicted that Lake Murray would have the least buffer capacity.

Water samples were collected from three local bodies of water. The samples were collected from Lake Murray, the Saluda River, and Davis Pond. The pH level of the sample was tested, and then polluted with a HCl solution. The change in the pH determined the buffer capacity of the water sample.
