2. Internship Objectives
• gain experience with field
work, lab work and analyses
of data
• characterize baseline water
quantity and water quality
data for an engineered
pond-wetland system and a
“natural” wetland system
• deploy sampling and
monitoring instruments for
storm sampling

3. Lab to Field
we set up sample boxes with
sondes and deployed them
strategically throughout
DeBordieu and Strawberry

4. Sampling
we collected grab samples bi-weekly along
flow paths in eight different locations between
DeBordieu (pond-wetland) and Strawberry
(“natural”)

8. Levelogger
Installation
installed Solinist leveloggers in Cary, NC
to monitor the flow of storm water
throughout the city

9. Lab Work
• water sampling
procedure/handling
• filtration of TSS/VSS (suspended
solids)
