2. Abstract Water content varies from community to community throughout the world. Some of these are natural accuracies caused by nature and some are induced by human. The research team compared the water quality results against local surrounding counties, statewide, countrywide and International water quality standards. In order to illustrate these differences the 2007 Topics in Computer Science course, the Hydrology Research team compared water samples from the Pasquotank River located in Elizabeth City North Carolina, Lake Cavalier which is located in Portsmouth Virginia, Playa De Mar Beach Spain, Chesapeake Bay Virginia and samples of tap water. The team measured Ph, Salinity, and Dissolved Oxygen. The team will completed literature reviews for each test site.

Acknowledgements The 2007 Hydrology Comparison Team would like to acknowledge The Center of Excellence For Remote Sensing Education and Research for giving us the opportunity to perform this research project. We would also like to thank our project advisor Dr. Linda B. Hayden for funding the project. Team mentor Kaiem L. Frink also provided assistance in various parts of the project. Dr Jinchun Yuan provided useful information on dissolved oxygen and factors that affect it which gave a clear understanding of the results of the project.
