Water Quality of the Concho River System around San Angelo, TX

This study analyzes and compares the quality of surface water in areas that differ in urban development around San Angelo, Texas. Using water samples from the San Angelo water sheds and an additional watershed from Ballinger, Texas, a Permutational Multivariate Analysis of Variance (MANOVA) was performed. Statistically significant differences were recorded based off the various sites but not between the months analyzed in this study. These findings suggest that a few specific water quality parameters are driving the changes throughout the water systems.
