This document was undertaken as part of an assessment for the GIS and Ecology module of my BSc. A field trip was organised to examine the water quality of the River Ashop. Contains four detailed maps showing the soil type, conductivity, pH level and iron content. There are an additional two maps il...

river ashop at tributaries to evaluate different aspects of water quality which were
pH, conductivity, total iron (Fe) and soil types. Water collected was later tested in
a laboratory at Nottingham Trent University to investigate findings.

Results
pH levels had significant variation ranging from 4.6 to 8.04. North areas typically
showing greater acidity (lower score) whereas southern and western areas

areas have a mixture of high and low units of micro-siemens.
RCS_D Total iron (Fe per milligram) was observed to have had a reasonable distribution
CLAY, SILT, SAND AND GRAVEL ranging from 0 to 0.905. Highest values were recorded at mainly northern,
eastern points with some located in the west also. The rest were found to have

significantly lower total iron at southern and north-western locations.
Two soil types were identified in the area which were clay, silt, sand, gravel and
peat. Additionally there was a significantly larger proportion of peat compared to
Final Data clay, silt, sand and gravel.
