Comparison of the Water Quality of the Bois Brule and Poplar Rivers, Wisconsin - Both Tributary to Lake Superior

摘要

A study of certain chemical parameters for the Poplar River, Wisconsin, watershed is presented. Parameters determined were, nitrogen, phosphorus, copper, dissolved oxygen, chemical oxygen demand, specific conductance, color value, total solids, and pH. The collected data were correlated with rainfall and terrain in the drainage basin of the Poplar River. These results were compared with a similar study of the Bois Brule River, a neighboring stream, which was studied in 1968.
