Testing Freshwater
We’re working with Hawai’i Sea Grant researchers and graduate students to examine the water quality of freshwater as it heads to the ocean. Freshwater travels in streams and underground, picking up pollution from our cesspools and agricultural run-off. We take a look at the water quality in streams and the shoreline of windward O’ahu.
