FOSR is in its 24th year of monitoring water quality in the Shenandoah River Watershed. |
| At the center of FOSR's operations is its lab at Shenandoah University in Winchester. That lab analyzes water samples collected from well over 100 sites throughout the Shenandoah River Watershed.
From Summerdean in Augusta
County to Harpers Ferry in West Virginia, volunteer monitors collect
water samples every two weeks and transport them to the lab for analysis.
Each individual water sample is analyzed for the following parameters: Ammonia, Nitrates, Phosphorus, Dissolved Oxygen, pH, Temperature and Turbidity.
