Water Quality Investigation—Rio Piedras, Sabana Llana Stream, Guaracanal Stream and San José Lagoon
Monitoring Water Quality in Urban Rivers
The multidisciplinary project PR Water Cops CL, enable students to
explore their own watershed and
understand what happens to the
flow of water over them, the way
in which human activities depend
on the river and impact the hydrol-
ogy, and the way in which the
change of land use can affect plant
and animal communities that live
along it. This project also seeks to
develop technology skills in appli-
cations such as Vernier LabQuest, Logger Pro Software, ArcGIS Ex-
plorer, Adobe Premier, MS Office
Publisher 2007 and Thinkquest.org
or Blogger.
Students will have the opportunity to develop the following skills of
the XXI Century:
• Communication
• Technology
• Creativity
• Critical thinking
• Teamwork
• Self-direction
• Understanding multiculturalism
The percentage of contaminants in urban rivers in the island is of
great concern. If you were ap-
pointed the Secretary of Natural
Resources for a certain period of
time, how could contribute to im-
proving water quality in urban
river basins in Puerto Rico now
and in the future?
