On Location...Tbilisi, Georgia
On November 26, the students from the primary school Mertskhali in Tbilisi had their water monitoring day at the lake Kus Tba ("the lake of turtles"). The lake is on one of the mountains surrounding the city. It's a recreation area where people swim in summer and the pupils decided to sample the water here.
Six sixth grade students and their teacher used the kit donated by the WWMD program. It was the first time that they took the part in World Water Monitoring Day activities. It was 11:30 when they came to the lakeside. The temperature of the air and water was the same 6°C, but after testing the sun came out of the clouds and it became warmer. The turbidity of the water was 40 JTU, DO level 8 ppm, pH 9. The students plan to monitor the same site and some other waterbodies in the spring. Read more or submit a story!
