Abstract:

YSI water quality parameters including water temperature, pH, Dissolved Oxygen, Specific Conductance, Salinity, and Turbidity, were collected in situ at the North Siphon impoundment, located in the Indian River Lagoon Preserve State Park, Florida. The duration of the sampling is from 02/21/2022 to 3/5/2024, at biweekly to monthly.

Purpose:

Monitoring of an impoundment water quality before, during, and after seagrass (Ruppia maritima L.) transplanting.

Data Parameters and Units:

Water Temp, pH, DO, DO Sat, Sp. Cond., Salinity, Turbidity (⁰C, SU, mg/L, %, uS/cm, ppt, NTU, respectively)

Methods:

As part of the impoundment management routine, there are sampling locations at the pump outside each impoundment and additional locations within the perimeter ditch of each impoundment’s cells, located as far from the pump’s discharge site as practical to assess changes in water quality as water flows through the impoundments. Brevard Mosquito Control District (BMCD) uses a YSI ProDSS multiparameter sonde (www.YSI.com) to measure water depth, temperature, conductivity, pH, turbidity, and dissolved oxygen. For this study, we used the data collected from the North Siphon impoundment (27.94344468871324, -80.50393778460612), in the Indian River Lagoon Preserve State Park.
