BIO


Hi, my name is Connor Smith I am currently trying to get into the athletic training major so that I can pursue a career in medicine. As of now, I hope to gain acceptance in a Physical therapy program once I graduate, but am still interested in learning more about different parts of the medical field until then.

Abstract


This study has a set focus on finding a correlation of land value and therefore overall socioeconomic status to the water quality of bodies of water near said real estate. To do this there have been several locations chosen based on the average value of the houses surrounding the body of water. Where using a water quality index scale that accounts for several standard water measurements, we can determine the overall quality of the water with consistent results
