Irrigation Water Quality Assessment

Job ID: 38127989

Budget: $250 – $750 USD

I require expert assistance for water quality testing specifically for irrigation purposes. The main concern is potential presence of bacteria and pathogens which could not only affect plant health but also seep into produce, posing health risks. We have a 5 acre wooded property in the mountains and the new neighbors blocked the water supply running into our several wet water streams going through our property. Now all the previously blocked areas have been released and the water coming through on our property is not normal. We are worried that it could kill our trees, wildlife, and vegetation. We are also worried about recent pesticides and herbicides being used in the area that are seeping into our property.

- Testing for Bacteria and Pathogens: Providing detailed information about the extent of bacterial and pathogen contamination is crucial.

Ideal skills and experience:

-Good for a collage student with experience in environmental issues or an ecologist looking to make some extra money while caring for and helping the environment.

- Proficiency in environmental science especially in water quality testing
- Ability to identify and quantify bacteria and pathogens in water samples
- Experience working on irrigation water quality assessing projects.
