Salt Cedar, and Its Effects on the Mojave River

CSEF · 2003 Environmental Engineering

Hastin L. Zylstra · Academy for Academic Excellence, Apple Valley

Overview

Objectives/Goals To find if Salt Cedar trees effect the salinity of the Mojave River. Methods/Materials Standard method; go to study sites, and collect Total Dissolved Solids information, using a Hanna brand handheld water quality device. Results When the river's Total Dissolved Solids is compared to a small puddle of water, directly effected by Salt Cedar trees, the Mojave River's salinity raised, and fell at the exact same dates. Conclusions/Discussion Yes, my hypothesis is correct, because of the rises and falls in the data, on the exact same dates.

Summary statement

The effects of Salt Cedar trees on the salinity of the Mojave river.

Help received
