Hoosier Riverwatch Water Quality Monitoring Kit
We have one (1) full stocked Hoosier Riverwatch Water Quality Monitoring Kit available for check out by those who are trained by Hoosier Riverwatch. The kits can be used to test the water quality of the inlet or outlet of a lake or stream.
Dissolved Oxygen Meter
We have one (1) Dissolved Oxygen Meter available for checkout, which will measure the amount of oxygen available in your lake at various depths. This kit is provided through Indiana University.
E.coli Incubators
We have two (2) E. coli Incubators available for checkout. An incubator is an isolated storage place that is used for cultivating bacteria. The incubator maintains optimal temperature of the atmosphere inside it. The most commonly used temperature for cultivating both bacteria and E. coli is approximately 37 °C, as these organisms grow well under such conditions. The incubator has a circulation system to ensure equal distribution of heat in the box.
