Youth conservation group analyzing water quality of Virginia River in St. John's

A conservation team is working to research lost or covered waterways using geographic technology to analyze water quality. The Conversation Corp N.L.’s Green Team, in partnership with Northeast Avalon ACAP (NAACAP), has begun analyzing the Virginia River and implementing other guidelines to assess other spots along the river. The team has been recording measurements of the sites and assessing culvert conditions, depth and velocity of the water, PH value, dissolved oxygen, total organic solids, salt content and temperature conditions.
