Research Overview
The objective of this research was to determine the effects dams have on EPT Taxa levels as we go downstream. Using this objective, we hypothesized that the alternation of flow pattern caused by the dam will result in increasingly higher EPT Taxa levels as we travel downstream (below the dam). The location of this research took place at the Cornell Plantation Dam where three replicate samples were taken from both upstream (above the dam) as well as down stream (below the dam).
