AbstractAbstractWater content varies from community to community Water content varies from community to community

throughout the world. Some of these are natural throughout the world. Some of these are natural accuracies caused by nature and some are induced accuracies caused by nature and some are induced by human. The research team compared the water by human. The research team compared the water quality results against local surrounding counties, quality results against local surrounding counties, statewide, countrywide and International water statewide, countrywide and International water

quality standards. In order to illustrate these quality standards. In order to illustrate these differences the 2007 Topics in Computer Science differences the 2007 Topics in Computer Science course, the Hydrology Research team compared course, the Hydrology Research team compared

water samples from the Pasquotank River located in water samples from the Pasquotank River located in Elizabeth City North Carolina, Lake Cavalier which is Elizabeth City North Carolina, Lake Cavalier which is located in Portsmouth Virginia, Playa De Mar Beach located in Portsmouth Virginia, Playa De Mar Beach Spain, Chesapeake Bay Virginia and samples of tap Spain, Chesapeake Bay Virginia and samples of tap

water. The team measured Ph, Salinity, and water. The team measured Ph, Salinity, and Dissolved Oxygen. The team will completed Dissolved Oxygen. The team will completed
