Water Quality Monitoring
One of the most important goals of ecological management is the preservation
of our water resourses. One of our projects in the Department of Ecology is
called "Water Quality Monitoring." We have been running this project for
several years now. Children from 10 to 14 years old take part in the
project. We monitor the water quality of lake Pleshcheevo, which is located
next to our camp in the Pereslavl National Park.
