Marjot scholar Lucia Wondal is studying the effects of salt runoff on Willow Brook in Rochester, NH. By collecting water samples at four testing sites along Willow Brook, she tests the quantity and variety of macroinvertebrates. She also tests the water's electrical conductivity, which is affected by salt content. Read the article in the Seacoastonline for more information and pictures.
