Stream Survey Kit_Cat. no. 2712000The Stream Survey Kit is customized for the popular river and stream surveys that are being conducted in many watersheds by citizen and student groups, and is particularly well suited for secondary students studying the impact of wastewater on receiving streams.

Using a range of test methods including a selection of colorimetric tests and a handheld electrochemical pH meter, this kit covers all of the most commonly tested parameters that are known to correlate directly to the health of a river, stream or creek, including: ammonia, nitrate, dissolved oxygen, pH, total phosphate, and temperature.

The Stream Survey Kit includes approximately 100 tests for each parameter (pH and temperature offer unlimited tests for the life of the instruments).
