Standing nearly waist deep in water, Vincent Lamantia dipped measuring equipment under the surface of the Kinnickinnic River, then lifted it out and studied the amount of sediment in it.
The answer? Not much, a good sign of water clarity and ecological health at that point of the river.
“The clarity is greater than 100,” Lamantia exclaimed to Natalie Beyerl, a fellow member of the Dam, Analysis and Monitoring (DAM) Crew, a group of seven students overseen by University of Wisconsin-River Falls faculty who are conducting an ecological study of the river well known for its pure water, its Class 1 trout designation, and its recreational opportunities.
