Hey
I'm in yr 11 at Sydney Boys High and I am doing my SGP now.
I'm doing it on water quality in the Upper Estuary of Parramatta River (the Parramatta River part - not Lane Cove).
I am focussing how land usage on and around the river (urbanisation and development) has changed, the effect this has on the river (dioxin levels, faecal coliforms [yuck], heavy metals and other chemicals in the river), implications of these consequences (e.g. heavy metals in fish can kill fisherman that eat those fish), how these consequences have altered river management (e.g. no more fishing...) and what more can be done.
I am making water samples of the river at several places along it and comparing different readings based on proximity to development, effect of storm water after rain and location relative to river.
Am aiming to get 95%-100%.
