        At our second site, we noticed the level of water was lower than
previously observed.  The water also appeared cleaner or not as polluted as
before.  There were no species of fish found at this site.  Also there were
fewer riffles than previously observed.  The air temperature was 28 degrees
Celsius.

>       This testing day was the first time we were able to use our new
Pocket Pal pH Meter.  The weather was warmer than the last unbearable cold
testing day.  We are looking forward to our April testing day to contribute
results to monitoring day.
